Could you expand on those steps to reproduce a little bit? The default value of
Søk is displayed "wrong" because they put it in there wrong, as Sök
rather than Sök, and at least on Windows, Opera and IE agree with us that
it should be displayed as Sök. However, when I search for trådløst, I get
the correct display in the filter search box, and what look to be the correct
results.

Safari(!) and IE on the Mac (don't have Opera around here) also display
Sök. I concur it's an Apple typo.

[e-mail], do you have other URLs where this occurs and which are not
the results of typos on the part of the site authors?  Otherwise this bug should
be resolved invalid (or reassigned to Tech Evangelism?).

It's not evangelism if it's equally broken in every single web browser....
