Just do a search on the basis of a Strong's number. I think concordances in software are just silly. That's what search is for. Do others feel like this is an important feature? We could possibly add a new module for this, but I'm not sure which GNT we would use as a basis in the Greek portion. And the Hebrew might have to be based on the KJV itself rather than a Hebrew text. > > 2) I did a word search on the whole Bible and it took a while for the > > search to be finished.

There's an indexing implementation, but it doesn't improve the speed all that much. Our full text search beats a number of indexed implementations in other software. Of course, it will be more sensitive to your hard drive performance (speed & caching), as well as your OS's caching performance, than indexed searches. I think we've had some volunteers to work on indexed searching. But we tend to get a lot more people who volunteer to do work than who actually do any. --Chris _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel
