Subject: Problem with encoding latin1/UTF8

I have a database with latin1_swedish_ci encoding.
In my database.yml file there is:

development:
  adapter: mysql
  encoding: latin1

When I import data to the database it will store it correctly, but when
I´m reading it from the databse I get ��� instead of åäö.

I´m using the following code to read from the databse:

@results = Product.find(:all, :conditions => [ "sku LIKE ?",
a1+@searchstring+a2], :limit => 50)

Any idea? I´ve tried to set the $KCODE = 'latin1' without success.
