Try

C-s
C-x 8 "a

Does that help?

I don't know about a keyboard command, but I just played around a bit,
and the following code seems to work:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(mapc (lambda (key)
	(define-key isearch-mode-map key 'isearch-printing-char))
      '([(adiaeresis)] [(odiaeresis)] [(udiaeresis)] [(ssharp)]
	[(Adiaeresis)] [(Odiaeresis)] [(Udiaeresis)] [(section)]))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The problem seems to be that non-ASCII characters are not classified as
"printing" when using isearch in Gnus (even though it works in other
modes).  Note that you may still not find all occurrences of a certain
character in the summary buffer; this is likely caused by encoding
differences (Latin 1 vs. Latin 9, etc.).

Andreas,

Look in lisp/international/iso-transl.el.  Better yet, look in the
manual for "Single-byte Character Set Support".  It appears my
suggestion only works if you're using Latin-1.

XEmacs: Incremental search for non-ASCII chars in the summary buffer (was: incremental search and Umlauts)

Could you try to identify which code in Gnus is responsible for this
or what needs to be added to Gnus to make it work like in other XEmacs
modes?

Bye, Reiner.
