Oh, I'm sorry, I misspoke. Current behavior is exactly the same as what I
described in my reproduction instructions for Hebrew. There is no change.

However, if you make your search diacritics-sensitive, then searching for
either BET or BET+DAGESH will find just one occurrence.


Now, on to Arabic.

First, if I follow Yousef Phillips's instructions - I get the exact same
problematic behavior: Finding a DAMMA fails, finding a KAF + DAMMA finds two
results. This is true whether your search is marked  "diacritics-sensitive" or
not (which can only be done with the dialog BTW).

If on that same document, you you type a third KAF letter, without a DAMMA - it
will be found when searching for KAF + DAMMA in non-diacritic-sensitive mode,
and will not be found when searching for KAF + DAMMA, in diacritic-sensitive
mode (which is a good thing). So, the behavior for Arabic and Hebrew seems to
be exactly the same. Marking my earlier comment obsolete.
