Thanks for clarifying. There is no BOM on the exported text file so by default (for my use case) it is not recognised as such. However, I can force the import to assume UTF-8 and that works. Would you consider adding a BOM, or an option to do so?

ES -export-txt with non-ASCII
This is probably best explained with output from a command window. The first 3 lines show what happens when ES is executed normally and this is exactly what I expect to see. However, note what happens to "prüfung" (with diacritics) when output is written to a text file. c:\test>es.exe prüf...

Interesting idea! It was worth checking but there is no Mozilla Firefox folder in Program Files and the firefox.exe in Program Files (x86) is very definitely an EXE and not a link. This is really weird.

Example:

es -path c:\ -r ^^winword\.exe$ returns zero hits
Using -path works fine with a non-regex search.
