Yes, we could add in some logic to call strongsPad during the search loop so a
Strongs entry in every Bible gets normalized before compare.
I haven't run into this so often because my front ends usually add this feature
as an interface by clicking on an existing word in a Bible with an option "find
other occurrences of this Greek word" and I search for the Strongs number as it
is formatted in that Bible.
