Hello,

Words with non-English letters in PDF files are not detected in searches. Those letters are either displayed as � or not displayed at all (simply omitted) in search results. For example, searching for the word "ağaç" in PDF files doesn't yield any results. One needs to search "aa�" to find its occurences. "ğ" is omitted and "ç" is detected as "�".

Changing file encoding options and setting different Force Encoding formats didn't fix it.
