Lucene search doesn't work with special characters

Hi!

There seems to be a problem with special characters and Lucene-Search:
Don't know if this is a browser-setting problem or can be resolved 
within Lucene/Forrest.

Entering the Word 'Überblick' in the lucene-search gives the URL:
http://localhost:8888/lucene-search.html?sitesearch=localhost&queryString=%C3%9Cberblick&Search=Go
which results in:
   Your search for Ãberblick returned no results.

Setting queryString=Überblick (manually) gives results and the URL now 
reads:
http://localhost:8888/lucene-search.html?sitesearch=localhost&queryString=%DCberblick&Search=Go

(Entering Ãberblick in the search field results in:
  Your search for ÃÂberblick returned no results.)

This happens in MSIE and firefox.
Forrest is 0.6-dev, revision 36849.

Thanks for any hints
Johannes

P.S. I hope my mail settings will send all the special
characters correctly! I used the German umlauts as special
characters, the URL-%-encoding should give you an idea.
