Well, my understanding is limited as well, but the way I understand it, but all of the information like footnotes is stored as attributes of the verse itself. When it's displayed, we are basically given the number of the footnote or lemma, etc, and when a user hovers over it, we have to request the attribute with that number, eg an array like [Footnote][1][body]. These attributes can be searched in sword, but you can't search both the main text and the attributes simultaneously (afaik). You *can* do simultaneous attribute searches with indexed search, but unfortunately only the lemmas are indexed (not headers, footnotes, cross-refs, etc).
