I also notice that the Perseus site does give one the option of
entering queries in Beta Code (CCAT standard) which uses X for Chi and C
for Xi. The site also gives one the option of using a system that
includes digraphs or a greek font which they supply.
I'm still wondering if, as a scholarly exercise, it is not
worthwhile to learn the Beta Code system, since one encounters it in so
many different places.
