improved the Finnegans Wake text searching algorithm to differentiate between
"soft hyphens" (indicating a word split into two at the end of a line), which are,
as before, silently ignored by the text search (e.g. "Belchum's" [009.30-.31]), and
"hard hyphens" (regular hyphens or dashes that just happen to land at the end of a line),
which are now no longer ignored by the text search (e.g. "Sophy-Key-Po" [009.34-.35])
