Error description

• IBM AD 6.0.1 'Search in Files' does not return any results for
  strings containing Swedish national characters.
  When trying to use 'Search in Files' feature of AD Analyze
  client and trying to search for strings that have any Swedish
   national character inside (e.g. ä, ö, å, etc.) -
   search does not bring any results back.

Problem summary

•  Using search in files from Analyze Client didn't return any
  results for characters with accents, including Japanese
  characters.
  

Problem conclusion

• It was discovered that the files containing characters with
  accents or Japanese characters weren't indexed correctly by the
  Batch Server, resulting in empty results when using Search in
  Files trying to search for these words in Analyze Client. The
  Source indexing part of the Batch Service received an update to
  recognize and index words containing this type of characters.
