Location Search in MapStore2 does not work with umlauts

[ghost]

This is an issue from geonode-mapstore-client and should be fixed in geonode rather than geonode-mapstore-client, since it seems to be related to the proxy of geonode. (GeoNode/geonode-mapstore-client#32)

Expected Behavior

Search for an Adress like "München" or "Saarbrücken"
The result should be returned

Actual Behavior

The search tool shows an error:

The logs show following error:
