  Not possible natively. Craft runs each search keyword through a "normalization" process before saving in its search index and part of that is converting characters like `å` to their ASCII counterparts `a`. You can see the whole process here:
  
  <https://github.com/craftcms/cms/blob/develop/src/helpers/Search.php#L41>
  
  If this were solely in the context of the searching on the front-end of the site, you could use/write a plugin that integrated with a 3rd party search service like [Algolia](https://www.algolia.com/) that offered more flexible options, but that wouldn't affect Control Panel searching until this was implemented: <https://github.com/craftcms/cms/issues/833>
