Searching for transclusion link yields spurious options #58

The scholar of Jewish liturgy, Ruth Langer (Boston College), provides a term for a form of Jewish liturgy comprised of verses from the TaNaKh. She calls it "centos."

One common cento is the one for Ashrei which is comprised of Psalms 84:5 followed by 144:15. Other common centos include Yehi Kavod (in Psukei Dezimrah) and the concluding verses at the end of Birkat Hamazon.

While creating the text to link to the outline I made for Ashrei, I failed to create a transclusion link for the cento for Psalms 145. While searching for Psalms 84:5 in the Link Properties form, a search for "תהלים פד" produced a lot of findings with the word תהלים but not one with תהלים פד, alas.

Not clear on how to create text made up of transclusion links.

The problem is that the way we're determining relevance in search results is pretty dismal.

Workarounds: (1) put your search term in quotes: "תהילים פד" (2) Biblical books are also known by their translated names, so "Psalms 84" would also work in the search. Relevance currently works better in English than Hebrew.
