Thanks for the tip @vitor! I ended up with this simplified custom search and now it works: alfred://customsearch/Google%20Sverige/s/utf8/+/https://www.google.se/search?q=%2522%7Bquery%7D%2522 It's odd though that when validating this search via the Alfred UI (by pressing the "Test" button) it returns the wrong result in Google ("%22häst%22" instead of "häst"). Whereas the opposite happened with the old custom search url (i.e. the validation worked with the Test button but not when using the Alfred search window).

Thanks for this @vitor. i stand corrected, those are not UTF-8 versions (I guess I was looking at the letter ä and its hex. value in this chart?) You're also right about a custom Swedish Wikipedia search working (I gave it as a random example but tested it just now and Swedish letters did work). But my custom Swedish Google page search does not. Here is the Custom Search url i use for this (it includes a double quotes/exact match) : alfred://customsearch/Google%20Sverige/s/utf8/+/https://www.google.se/search?q=%22%7Bquery%7D%22&hl=sv&le=sv&btnG=Google+Search&num=20&start=0 This url used to work before the update to 5.0. What am I doing wrong?

I have a ton of custom web searches for Swedish (and Polish) websites. For some reason, after the recent Alfred update, when I type in any country specific characters (such as å, ä, ö) as my search term, it returns the UTF-8 equivalents instead (obviously ruining my searches). For example, if i search for the word "häst" ("horse"), on my custom Swedish Wikipedia search, it used to return häst, whereas after the update it returns h%C3%A4st. Is there any way I can stop this from happening? Please help.
