Patterns are matched against an index + of headwords and variants, to form a ‘match set’. By default, + both patterns and the index are folded: upper case characters + are mapped into their lower case equivalents, and Latin accented + characters are mapped into their non-accented equivalents. In + interactive mode, there is always a ‘current match set’ and a + ‘current entry’ within the match set.
