I can't search for æ,ø,å.

It is pissing me off a lot.

I am going to switch to Chrome because of that since I'm using the search function a lot in a book.

I thought about switching between the book on Chrome and Firefox for all other purposes, but no, it's gonna be annoying.

So I'm gonna switch to Chrome which enables users to search for weird letters too.

Hi, is the problem that searching for å also finds a ?

If you check the box for "Match Diacritics" on the Find bar, then only the exact letter should match.

Is that similar to Chrome?

Make the search feature (Ctrl + F) recognize foreign letters

So that when you Ctrl + F the letter "Ö", for example, it shows only that letter and not "O".

This option already exists in the find bar: Match Diacritics.
