Affecting of the standard find notion #20

Description

@ruv

Many words rely on the find term, for example: ' (Tick), postpone, [defined], synonym.

The term find is defined in Forth-2012 as:
find: To search the dictionary for a definition name matching a given string.

Later it was updated to:
find: To search the search order or a specified word list for a definition name matching a given string.

When the Recognizer API is provided, the standard search order can be ignored doing text translation, and another user-defined search order can be technically used. In such a case it would be unexpected if Tick cannot find an ordinary word that can be successfully translated.

Then, the mentioned words shall use the system's recognizer (the perceptor) to find a word. Of course, they shall analyze the recognized token type, accept appropriate tokens, and discard unknown or inappropriate tokens.

  • See also the discussed word apply-recognizer-filter ( sd.lexeme xt.recognizer xt.filter -- i*x tt | 0 ) xt.filter ( i*x tt -- i*x tt flag ).

To formally implement this requirement, we will need either update the term find, or update all the words that rely on this term.
