Is there a way to search for "nonprintable" characters (such as ANSI code 150)? In a way that doesn't mean you have to search for each individually, that is?

Find what: [€-ÿ]

[X] Regular expression
You can enter € and ÿ as <Alt+0128> and <Alt+0255> on the numeric keypad (with NumLock on).

or use \x with hex code to search for your character by code.

e.g. \x09 for a tab, \xA0 for a nonbreaking space, ...
