Sorry, but I can't comprehend your behavior. See the screenshot.
Can you attach your result screen?
Which system do you use? (os, java, fonts, ...)

Ok, I can comprehend the problem.
I use a win10 and Java 11 LTS and I had the same result. But if I copy text from wordpad and paste it into the search box, I find the document and can open it with wordpad.
Give me some time to understand and fix the font problem.

Huge tamil unicode fonts can also be downloaded from - https://www.azhagi.com/freefonts.html if required.

I think I have an idea.
Can you save a search result with the disk toolbar icon and send me this file.
Than I will try to fix it with adding necessary encoding information.

This is an uncool font problem on windows systems.
A quick test with additional font code in Java and HTML, solve this problem.

searchField.setFont(new Font("Nirmala UI Semilight", Font.BOLD, 12)); hitBuf.append("<body style="font-family: Nirmala UI Semilight;">");

Now I have to find a dynamic solution or add a manual setting.
