Description
Hello,

The problem is in "Find in files" function in Delphi XE and Delphi 2010. The problem does not exist in Delphi 2007.
The problem is finding non-latin strings in ANSII encoded source files (not UTF8).

OS: WinXP
Default encoding: Hebrew.

if I search for a Hebrew string in a non opend file, it doesn't find it.
if I open the file in Delphi editor, and try to find the string, it does find .
if I save the file in UTF8 instead of ANSII then it does find the string.
Steps to Reproduce:

0. Goto "Regional and lanuguage options", Advance, and change the Language for non-Unicode programs to Hebrew (otherwise you won't be able to save a file with Hebrew chars as ANSII, but only as UTF8)
1. Create a new VCL application project
2. write a Hebrew string, for instace - ???
3. save the unit, if your default encoding is Hebrew then saving in UTF8 won't be suggested. save it as ANSII.
4. press Ctrl+Shift+F serch for the string, you'll find it.
4. close the file.
5. Ctrl+Shift+F search for the string, you WON'T find it.
6. re-open the file.
7. save it as UTF8
8. close the file
9. try to find the string again. you'll find it now.

I belive that this problem can be reproduced in any non-latin1 encoded chars in ANSII files (Russsian, Arabic, Greek...)
Workarounds
Save the sourfe file in UTF8.

I deleted QC#88113 as Sysop.
Thanks.

Is your issue same as QC#81840, QC#67019 ?

I don't think it's a duplicate. it might be related though.
this bug is about .pas files, and the ones you stated are about dfm files.
non-ansi strings are saved diffrently in pas and dfm files.

Sorry, I misunderstood your issue.
Is your issue same as(similar to) QC#83284 or QC#80843 ?
