currently gives 0 hits, even though a count of works with that author name string currently gives 137.

I suspect this is not unique to the letter "Ø" but probably affects certain sets of special characters.

Sorry to be slow getting to this - the recent fix for cyrillic characters should also have fixed this. I checked the 'Bernhard Ø Palsson' case and it seems to work fine now!
