When I visited the link  
http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/b-greek/2005-April/033942.html, I 
could see the Greek word fine. And when I
 searched on Google for the Greek word  using the "cut and paste" method 
using Mozilla , the search for the greek word worked fine.  But when I 
looked
in the search box after completing the search, this was Google's 
"translation" of the greek font mentioned in the link:

ὁμοιώσω

I also noticed that using the "cut and paste" method, a Google search 
using Internet Explorer failed with the following error:

Your search - *ὁìïéώóù* - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

    - Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
    - Try different keywords.
    - Try more general keywords.
