Regarding the example of Beth--el or Beth-el or Bethel (and related
to all the other words):
The search needs to be the most intelligent thing. The user doesn't
need to remember if a word has an endash or emdash, etc... the search
should be able to "know" that Beth--el or Beth-el or Bethel or Beth El
are all the same word... even being able to find ???-??would be nice.
If the search engine could suggest the correct term for my incorrect
one, I would be able to find what I am studying (without having to even
know that there are multiple types of dashes.) The users need to have
the easiest time reading the bible possible, and the easiest time
finding the right verse. It is already incredibly valuable to be able
to search whole phrases (instead of the old concordance flipping pages
back and forth). Correctness in punctuation is secondary as DM stated
in the 1611 he didn't see much of the current dash usage.
