I have not had much success using the Strong's numbers search. I get
success on some numbers while none on others. I have noticed the following:
Search for Strong's number 02822:
1) try "H02822", "02822", or "2822" (and other permutations)
Nothing.
2) try "<02822>" and use the "Main Text" and "Exact" options (NOT
the "Strong's Number" option)
Success.
Now when I use the command line search that comes with the sword source
in the examples/cmdline directory.
(I modified the program to use the search option -3)
1) try "Word//Lemma/H02822/"
Success.
(I modified the program to use the search option -2)
1) try "<02822>"
Nothing.
Why am I getting these results? There seems to be some problem.
Possibly, the Bibletime search is setting the show Strong's numbers
option to ON, and this is why <02822> works. And this same setting also
causes the Lemma search to fail.
I am trying to fix this in Bibletime so that my Strong's number searches
will work all the time.

P.S.
I am going to try to fix the results window to highlight the word(s)
that match the searched for Strong's number. I use this kind of search
all the time and I need to be able find the word(s) that relate to the
Strong's numbers quickly.
