    Hey, this Find/Replace in Files is just what I've been looking for.  Unfortunately, in the search results, I only ever get question marks for non-ANSI characters.  I first assumed that I had some setting wrong, but as I have not been able to find any combination of settings that fixes this, I now wonder if it is actually a bug.

    Here's how to reproduce the problem:

    1. Paste the following line into a new UTF8-encoded text file:
          find me - ɸɑʲnd mi - ફૈન્ડ મી 

    2. Save the file.

    3. Do a Find in Files for 'find me' in that file.

    The search results show all the non-ANSI characters as question marks:
        Line 1: find me - ???nd mi - ????? ?? 

    Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

    Thanks,

    Dan

      I don't know what changed, but non-ANSI chars in the search results are now displaying just fine for me.  Please disregard my earlier post.  (I don't see any way of deleting it.)
