Search supports only English characters

Hello,

I’ve just noticed that the search function is not working for any other language, except English.

I can’t really understand why this’s happening, since i have one other website, hosted by the same hosting company and no errors occur.

To test this out for yourself on my website
This works just fine : https://energysaving.gr/?s=asd

This is not : https://energysaving.gr/?s=ασδ (<<— if you can’t see the greek characters correctly just replace with a German, Finish or whatever word with special characters).

In fact, it redirects me to a test server page

And you can test any other language to see that it’s still not working. Any language with special non-latin characters.

What’s wrong?

Thank you in advance

By the way, this works

with any character. Can i at least somehow change the default search path?

I’ve just figured it out. iThemes security was filtering out non-english characters. I think be default, not sure if i was the one who enabled that thing.
