''' | ==Features== | ||
A number of features has been implemented to enhance this resource; for example '''diacritics-insensitive''' live search (based on [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Lucene-search Lucene], random '''ancient Greek quotes''' with English translations, semantically arranged data (like the [[Index:Contents|Indexes]] of various transliterations and forms). It was a long and arduous trip, but we hope you will agree with us that it was worth the effort. | |||
==Search== | |||
You can search using polytonic Greek, monotonic Greek, atonic Greek or Latin characters. You will get live search results no matter which option you choose. | |||

The only difference betwen this one and Medium diacritics is that this one may also have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macron macron] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vrachy vrachy] marks. A known issue here in the original Perseus data, is that macron and vrachy are often not combined with the accent mark (when the specific letter should also have an accent). | *'''Full diacritics''': this is the form of the word with the maximum number of diacritics.
