In the KJV module, if you want to search for [say] the hyphenated name<br>
"Maher–shalal–hash–baz", you first have to be aware that this module uses<br>
the ndash in place of the hyphen.<br>
<br>
btw. It's not so easy to enter the ndash from a keyboard, and probably even<br>
harder in an Android tablet or mobile.<br>
<br>
If you use ordinary hyphen/minus for the search key hyphen for this module,<br>
you don't find anything with "Exact phrase".<br>
If you use "Multi-word", you do find "Maher" highlighted in the found verse.<br>
(e.g. using Xiphos).<br>
<br>
For modules in general, however, the user cannot usually know in advance<br>
whether hyphenated words use the ndash, the hyphen or something else.<br>
<br>
Has anyone else looked into this aspect of the search feature?<br>
