New Search Matching Commands

The syntax is:

• match.<mark>:word —> e.g. match.marks:ἀγάπῃ
  • combine them by separating with a colon e.g. match.vowels:match.accents:hebrew:מֶֽלֶךְ

All languages will support:

• match.marks — makes all non-spacing marks significant.
• match.nomarks — ignores all non-spacing marks, regardless of language defaults.
• match.exact — matches your word exactly.
• match.all — a synonym for “exact”.

Some languages will support:

• match.case — matches are sensitive to capital/lowercase letters.
• match.form — ignores stemming but allows capital/lowercase letters.
