Search/replace is a bit unspecfic. But normally, it is best to convert=20=
=20
to UTF-8, and do the operations then. UTF-8 has the advantage that it=20=20
is compatible to many algorithms working byte by byte, i.e. normal=20=20
string operations like substituting a given string by another one, or=20=20
comparing strings.

Conversion support is available e.g. in Camomile, but also in Ocamlnet.=20=
=20
Camomile has also some direct support for manipulating UTF-16 strings=20=20
encoded as int array (if you need to go down that far).

pcre-ocaml supports regular expressions for UTF-8 strings.
