I think you'd better tweak the search. If you enter &alpha it'll find
the alpha search, but it will print & alpha ; when you'll view your article.
I've modified the search process on my site.
"Jovano Jovanke" is a well known song from Macedonia, pronounced iovano...
(the "j" is pronounced "i"). So everybody write it a different way :
ïovano,
iovano, jovano... if you search for "iovano" you'll find "jovano"
which is
the right orthography.
http://tousauxbalkans.jexiste.fr/index.php5?search=iovano&go=Consulter
the same with a lot of diacritics letters no Latin-1, and also cyrillic...
"iovano" search also for "Йовано"... it's not yet perfect, not
finished, it
was hard work

Sigh.... my attempt to get Charinsert to insert html α etc
instead of the character was a miserable failure.
Putting α in charinsert still inserts a lovely greek letter,
but it doesn't show up as α in the wikitext.
I'd like it to be saved in the database as α so that searching
for "alpha" finds it.
I'm guessing that I have to tweak something. Anyone else run into this?

that greek letters are inserted as characters rather than as html
glyphs, e.g.
α vs. α
I was thinking of switching to the glyphs because it seems like
searching for alpha-something (common in chemistry and biochemistry)
is easier than searching for α-something. Are there important
reasons I should not do this?
