This bug seems to have been morphed into something it isn't. This bug was initially about UnicodeEncodeError, which has nothing to do with bug 44919, which is about the client submitting non-UTF8 data. UnicodeEncodeError and UnicodeDecodeError are two completly different errors. All OOPSes related to UnicodeEncodeErrors are valid OOPSes, which we should fix. This basically means we OOPS every time the use searches on /people using characters like 'ö'. I'm not sure about other characters, but I'd consider increasing the importance of this bug, since it's is an OOPS bug.

OOPS-1209G1180 is an UnicodeDecodeError, and seems to be due to bug 44919.
