[sword-devel] Searching for entity attributes

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Yes, we could add in some logic to call strongsPad during the search loop so a Strongs entry in every Bible gets normalized before compare.

I haven't run into this so often because my front ends usually add this feature as an interface by clicking on an existing word in a Bible with an option "find other occurrences of this Greek word" and I search for the Strongs number as it is formatted in that Bible.
