Sorry, can't, don't know the language. If it were web-based, I could do it in a heartbeat. I work primarily in PHP with a smattering of Perl.

Searching on strong's numbers needs to be improved still because there are some interface problems that were mentioned in a previous message to the list. If people won't read the manual... remind me again why we should care about helping them? > Justin writes: > If indexing doesn't improve the speed that much then it isn't good indexing! > Seriously, an index search *should* beat a forced search hands down.

I don't think anyone is arguing that indexes would be a nice addition, but they do need to work with the current API's exposed interface.
