Hello Jan, sorry for the delay. Yes you are right the problem was the codepage in the "Find /Search in File" menu. The codepage was set to "Unicode UTF 16 little endian (1200)" , after setting back to UTF-8 BOM, the search result are displayed as expected..
a big thanks #Bobf -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?6,68757,68817> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
