<font face="FreeSerif">That's because Xiphos' search explicitly
disables Greek Accents and Hebrew Vowel Points before all
searches. This was consequent to a bug report, and the solution
concluded at the time was to eliminate accents and points entirely
from searches as a useful generalization, to keep from getting
caught by "<this module> has accents but <that one>
doesn't, but why don't searches work the same for them?" That is,
if search success depends on the specificity of whether accents or
points are enabled, you're probably doing something wrong.<br>

The code squishes search terms to no accents or points, turns off
options for accents & points, then carries out the search.<br>

Not sure what's up with the terrible Preview display; it looks
like UTF8-ness was lost. However, that misbehavior seems limited
to TischMorph. For example, if I use 2TGreek, which (like
TischMorph) is a ThML module, and in fact was built using
TischMorph for NT, search previews show up perfectly fine in both
Linux and Windows environments. I'll look into it but I have no
guesses at the moment as to why it looks bad.<br>
