How to Reproduce

While doing a GET operation on /search, Trac issued an internal error.

Any search including characters with diacritics such as ěščřžýáíéúů...etc. fails with same (just for another char) problem on phpDoc plugin.

Request parameters:

{'q': u'po\u0159ad\xed'}

Solved by setting parametr "encoding" in trac.ini for phpdoc

[phpdoc]
path = ...
encoding = utf-8
