Anjelinia,

What does 

the search tools return null when words are in utf-8 !!

[anjelinaponkerat]

search tools can not find any things. I,m sure I have 10 records that have words exactly same as my search word. But serach tools can not find them !!

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Are you searching a FeatureLayer source or just the world geo Oder?

[anjelinaponkerat]

I.m searching Feature Layer on my arcgis server 10.2.2

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

And set that as one of the search widgets sources right?

[anjelinaponkerat]

Yes

It work with none utf-8 charcters(english words) very good. but it has problem with utf-8 like arabic and .... !!!

Anjelina,

  Well that is something you would have to report to your local esri tech support then. I would think that other non English users would have reported an issue this this already if there was a major bug like that though.
