Hello,

I just noticed that Kindle for PC search does not recognize multi word entries like this

PHP Code:


			
<idx:entry><idx:orth><a name="FAR HOUSE"><h2>FAR HOUSE</h2></a></idx:orth>
    <p>The marginal explanation in the Revised Version (British and American) of Beth-merhak (beth ha-merchaq, "house of distance"), which is given in the text of <a href="#2Sam.15.17">2Sa 15:17</a> instead of "a place that was far off."</p>
    <p>See <a href="#BETH-MERHAK">BETH-MERHAK</a>.</p></idx:entry>

This example was given here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=162696.

Kindle for PC does not show any results for FAR, or FAR HOUSE at all. Is this the case for Kindle devices as well? Kindle cannot handle multi word idx orth dictionary entries?

You can also try searching for "moral hazard" in the default New Oxford dict.
