🔍 SearchSite-wide search
A search icon now sits in the nav bar on every page — press it or use ⌘K to open the search overlay. One query searches across all breakdowns, the family tree, and Torah chapters. Results are grouped by section; clicking a category header (Breakdowns →, Family Tree →, Torah →) takes you to that section's own page with your query pre-filled. Type a verse reference like Genesis 27:5 and a direct jump link to that passage appears at the top.
✦ FeatureTypo-tolerant / soundalike matching
Search handles common misspellings without needing exact spelling. Doubled letters are normalized before matching — essau finds Esau, rebbecca finds Rebecca, jakub finds Jacob. One- and two-character differences are also caught on longer words, so a rough approximation still returns the right result.
🌿 Family TreeHeth & Philistines illustrations
Portrait illustrations added for Heth (son of Canaan, ancestor of the Canaanite Hittites — the people from whom Abraham purchased the cave of Machpelah) and the Philistines (descended from Casluhim son of Mizraim, the Sea Peoples who settled the Gaza coast and became Israel's persistent adversary from Samson through David). Both are now visible in the Family Tree viewer and in the Sons of Ham breakdown.
