It does lookup correctly. It may or may not actually have that lemma in 
the dictionary though. And sometimes it appears to be a bit off, picking 
a key that follows the expected one. (Something related to normalization 
perhaps? But I believe it's already all NFC.)

It mostly comes down to difficulties raised by accents and other diacritics.

The same problem occurs when I search a word from MorphGNT, switch to 
LS, and click search.

Just to confirm, that the problem was as I described, I checked by 
switching to another locale (one that uses a non-Latin script) and did a 
Bible search. With the locale set to Ukrainian, a search will return 
keys localized in Cyrillic. Then BibleCS performs lookups on all those 
keys, returning the same verse text for all keys (which just display as 
a bunch of question marks for each book plus a legible chapter:verse 
number). And that repeated text is Rev 1:1.

Basically the key field just needs to be able to display UTF-8 (in 
addition to the result field, which already does).
