using Chrome browser for computer searching for words in Greek texts

Post by hlawson38 »

I have been testing computer searching of Greek words in the Chrome web browser in Mint Linux. It seems to work pretty well with the keyman keyboard.

With the keyboard set to Greek, in Chrome Control-F opens up a text entry box. Start typing characters, and the cursor moves to the target, changing as you add characters.

Judging from behavior, the Chrome search function seems be case-folded and character-folded. That is, it ignores the difference between upper- and lower-case; it also ignores diacriticals. For me, this is a good thing.
