An interesting problem.  I guess maybe we should be treating those two as the 
same thing.

Well, if Joseph Smith had read this it might have given him occasion to have a 
another visionary encounter, as he claimed to have with Elijah as well as Elias 
(the Greek rendering)!

An interesting comment.  However, while I accept the spirit of it, I think 
there is a difference between different rendering of essentially the "same" 
spelling (Caesar and Cæsar) and different spellings of the "same" name over 
different languages.  While name disambiguation is potentially a good idea (as 
well as name identification - e.g. search for the Joseph son of Israel and only 
get verses mentioning him in Genesis rather than also getting verses mentioning 
the NT Joseph), it is a harder problem and requires much more data.

No bigggie. But it would be nice if the search window remembered the proximity 
and testament choice across sessions. And if you do not mind me also asking 
here, how do you get rid of the book and verse range in the top right  hand 
corner of the Bible view window, which obscures part of the first sentence of 
the top verse?

While you are at it, Judaea gets 12 hits and Judæa 31. It is only matters as 
one searches for Judaea then he only gets a portion.
