There's a search box at the top of the OpenSlide website.

OpenSlide was opening files with fopen(), which on Windows expects the 
filename to be in the ANSI code page.  That won't work, of course, with 
arbitrary filenames.  I've modified OpenSlide to interpret filenames as 
UTF-8 on Windows and use _wfopen():

Try the 2015-09-08 build:

     https://buildbot.openslide.org/snapshots/windows/

It turns out that the OpenSlide command-line tools were reading the ANSI 
command line instead of the Unicode command line, which was causing a 
similar problem in the tools.  They're still broken in the 2015-09-08 
build, but should be fixed in tomorrow's build.

Thanks for the report!
