<p>I use Shift+Ctrl+F to do <code>Find in Files</code>. It failed when there are filenames with some unicode characters.</p>

<p>I tried the <code>grep.exe</code> directly:</p>

<pre><code>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Geany\bin\grep.exe" -nHIirF ring *
grep: New folder/zhon??.txt: Invalid argument
</code></pre>

<p>The <code>??</code> are some unicode characters.</p>

<p>I tried another <code>grep.exe</code> shipped with Git on Windows:<br>
<code>"C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\grep.exe" -nHIirF ring *</code><br>
This one works fine!</p>

<p>I guess Geany can simply use another version of <code>grep.exe</code>. (Maybe use the same version Git is using.)<br>
So <code>Find in Files</code> can work flawlessly on Windows?</p>
