Thanks for your fast reaction. 
I've a backup and I've exported the database into another file and get
the same result. :-(
There are different behavior between the normal shop and  the UI. If i
search for "e", the shop find 1330 products. This is my whole database.
If i click the "items" in my UI, UI can only found 15 products. If i
search for "Beer", the shop can list all items with "Beer". If I search
for "Beer" in UI, UI can't found that items. Very strange!

What ist the cause?
Maybe, there are some Codes from Windows via Copy & Paste? How can I
find this Codes?

Thanks!

Joachim
