Cannot search in files for special characters

[Artilaina]

Issue Type: Bug

1. Open file search (ctrl+shift+F)
2. Type something like "número de registros". Nothing is found
3. Change it to: "mero de registros". Lot of files are found, as expected.

Besides, results shows wrong characters where it should be an "ú"

Note: All files searched are windows 1252 encoded.

Do you have files.encoding set? Even though the editor can handle multiple encodings easily, you will need to set that setting for search to work properly.

I changed that value in the folder settings and it works fine now. So, VS needs to know the encoding before start a search, isn't? I was expecting that VS could guess the file encoding while searching inside the file itself. I suposse that I could set different folder encoding: logs (utf-8), code (W1252), etc.

Thanks.
