 * Hi,
 * This plugin works rather well till the moment you start using wordpress for multi-
   lingual sites. I’m just about to launch a Turkish language version and noticed
   that search string like e.g. ‘Sınıflar’ get rewritten to ‘S%C4%B1n%C4%B1flar’
   and being 403ed.
    the reason is with this line I guess:
 * RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*(%0|%A|%B|%C|%D|%E|%F|127\.0).* [NC,OR]
 * Since there are so many languages with so many special characters, I think a 
   field to list all exceptions in the admin panel, would do the trick. What do 
   you think?

 * or perhaps even a multiple choice box to select all languages used?
