Thanks for the link!

I gave that a try and it properly handled the Spanish, French and German text.

1- Search term = Fundacin

1- Search term = Franais

1- Search term = BESCHFTIGTEN

It had a problem with Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Korean and Japanese text.

(Russian) 1 - S e a r c h t e r m = $ !# - should be ФОРСУНОК

(Arabic) 1 - S e a r c h t e r m = 'D91 - should be العرب(

(Hebrew)1 - S e a r c h t e r m =  - should be עברית

(Chinese Simplified)1 - S e a r c h t e r m = DN - should be 资产

(Chinese Traditional) 1 - S e a r c h t e r m = Œu" - should be 資產

(Korean) 1 - S e a r c h t e r m = Dx - should be 아미노산

(Japanese) 1 - S e a r c h t e r m = 00 - should be オレ
