--------------
There is a problem with the Deserialize method of the Util.cs file. The method reads the input XML text into an StringReader object, which only does UTF-16. This makes the deserialization fail on certain occasions when the return value contains non-ANSI characters. When I search for "Norway", the resultset is not able to parse.
Here is the result set that won't deserialize properly when StringReader is used:
