Is it possible to use iconv(charset_of_the_document_being_indexed, utf-8)
instead of UTF8Toisolat1()?

setlocale(charset_of_the_document_being_indexed) on-the-fly?

Ok, then we'll pass two parameters to search script - from_encoding and
to_encoding. We disregard conversion failure, there is nothing we can do
about it.
