You could easily test if this is the case by finding a phrase that
wraps around a note in one of our heavily annotated modules like the
KJV or ESV.

Remember, if you test it, that BibleTime has its own implementation of
a search engine that is separate from what SWORD provides for the rest
of the applications so you should test it independently of the others.
