This is a good enough method for me! (And others probably too.) The  
problem I wanted to point out is that not the file's contents but its  
presentation forms are now found. This needs to be documented, and it  
needs to be emphasised that C-s C-q uses a Unicode search and does  
not take into account the file's proper encoding. Could be there are  
just a few that care about these encoding details.

This is like pressing u on the keyboard and an x appears on screen ...
