I have a problem searching for words with swedish characters. Like dvärggurami and svärdbärare. I know there is those words in the forum.

I think it's the problem with the Umlaut characters. You could try to change your language Date / Time Formatting "Locale" at your language.../admincp/language.php?do=modify&.
If you use now sv_SV you have to change it to sv_SV.UTF-8. Then rebuild the searchindex at .../admincp/misc.php?do=chooser& .
Try to search any word with a swedish character. It should work again.
I have a short tutorial in german here: https://vbulletin-forum.de/articles/...umlaute-fehlenComment

delicjous , im still struggeling with this issue. Was your solution on a Windows Server with IIS or something else? Im not able to enter the sv_SE.UTF-8 or sv-SE.UTF-8. Im recieving errors like "The locale 'sv-SE.UTF-8' could not be located on this server." and i cant figure it out the correct settings for Windows Server 2016 with IIS 10...Comment

Nop, I don't use windows server. Mr B are your forum run in sweden? You need to set this to sv-SE.UTF-8 for sweden, de_DE.UTF8 for germany ..... You find a list on your language-settingspage.
Ive also installed a new testvb and the problem is there also. All åäö is missing in the "words" db table. So, for example the fish "gädda" is indexed as "gdda" in the "words" table. The same problem is here on vBulletins forum. If you search for "gädda" you will find nothing. But if you search for "gdda" you will find this thread.Comment

Yes, because they don't use special characters in english and don't matter I think...It is working! Search for Württemberg at http://vbulletin-forum.de and you will get a result.Comment

So, maybe there is some kind of unique setting for swedish locale on windows server. The search worked in vBulletin 4.2.5 so something in search indexing is changed from 4.2.5 to 5.4.4. In 4.2.5 we had sv_SE as Locale but that is not valid in 5.4.4.Comment

This seems to be a bugger to solve, and the help from vBulletin is rather limited.
if Sphinx search solves the issue the we probably go for that. But the built in search function should work... the vBulletin documentation does not mention that Sphinx is a must.
Please help with the questions
