Oh, ok. Now that you say it, it's obvious. We pass always UTF-8 text to
'grep' but this doesn't match when the file is encoded in any other
encoding (and you are using non-Ascii characters).

I added some code in SVN r3221 to provide an encoding list in the Find
in Files dialog.
The set encoding is used to convert the entered search text into and to
display the search results.
Actually, the entered search text can be in UTF-8 or in the specified
encoding though I only tested it with UTF-8 text since this is the most
common case (everything you select or copy from within Geany is UTF-8,
always even the file encoding is something else).

Any feedback is welcome.


Regards,
Enrico
