It didn't work, but should work now.  I attached 3 files
(temp1,2,7 encoded in iso-8859-1,2,7 respectively).
  C-x C-f temp1 RET ESC < C-n C-s C-w C-x C-f temp2 C-s C-s
should find "­á", and
  C-x C-f temp1 RET ESC < C-n C-n C-s C-w C-x C-f temp7 C-s C-s
should find "­°".

This should work now too.  For instance, "­" and "á" are
0255 and 0341 in iso-8859-1 charset.  So, if your primary
charset is iso-8859-1, C-q 255 C-q 341 RET should input
"­á".  And,
  C-x C-f temp2 ESC < C-s C-q 255 C-q 341 RET
should find "­á" even if the characters in that buffer is
from iso-8859-2.
