Geany Find in Files Dialog

I opened the geany Find in Files Dialog and it kept defaulting to ISO-8859-1. It kept bugging me cause I wanted it to default to UTF-8

Turns out... in the source code of Geany 0.20 says this:

/* set the encoding of the current file */
if (doc != NULL)
    enc_idx = encodings_get_idx_from_charset(doc->encoding);
gtk_combo_box_set_active(GTK_COMBO_BOX(fif_dlg.encoding_combo), enc_idx);

So my problem was I had an ISO-8859-1 file open... then when I went todo CTRL-SHIFT-F, find in files, it defaulted to the charset of the file that was already open. All I had to do was change the encoding of my file (that was already open) to utf8 and the find in files defaulted correctly.
