While the first pair of searches (Greek lower-case range search versus most/all Greek characters search) return the same number of records, and the second pair of searches (upper case Cyrillic versus lower case Cyrillic?) return the same number of records,
it appears that character range searches may be effective and that searches can use UPPER CASE or lower case, but since the number of records retrieved for these 4 searches are so small, I'm hesitant to conclude that variations are equivalent and usually try
all versions in the same search session to see if the results change. When the hit counts get higher (at least a few thousand), maybe we'll have some confidence about equivalent searches.</div>
