What encoding are the txt files using?

If you are using UTF-8, please make sure you are saving with a BOM.
The default txt-iFilter doesn't work for UTF-8 files without a BOM.

Please try the following searches:
ext:txt utf8content:mjölk
ext:txt utf8content:smör
ext:txt utf8content:jord

utf8content: will treat the content as UTF-8.

-or-

ext:txt utf8content:mjölk | content:mjölk
ext:txt utf8content:smör | content:smör
ext:txt utf8content:jord | content:jord

content: will use the extension associated iFilter.

-or-

Please try the content: search with Everything 1.5 alpha which will search the files as text/plain.
