From: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/z5bb48/ctrl_f_cannot_search_whole_word_that_contains/
Steps to reproduce the problem:
- search for the whole word "erfüllbar"
What is the expected behavior? (add screenshot)
Expected behavior is ~240 results (like in Chromium screenshot).
What went wrong? (add screenshot)
Firefox shows 0 results. Modifying the search query to "üllbar" brings up 252 results, but fails to show any results if "match diacritics" is enabled.

Not my comment:
Your document uses combining characters. For example, these two characters are used to render a ü:
U+0308 : COMBINING DIAERESIS {double dot above, umlaut; Greek dialytika; double derivative}
U+0075 : LATIN SMALL LETTER U
Firefox doesn't search for them when you type precomposed characters, such as:
U+00FC : LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS
