We have a Xiphos bug report from a user who reads Hebrew, which complains that search fails in Hebrew modules. A couple of special cases work (e.g. אֱלֹהִ֑ים - that may not appear properly, I do mail using Gnus in XEmacs, which has trouble with Hebrew), but by far the general case fails. This is even so when copying/pasting text from WLC into Xiphos' search boxes and failing to have that same text from that same verse retrieved as a result.
Xiphos' use of search facilities is essentially blind. We take text from an input box, and hand that string verbatim to the Sword search call. To the extent that I can trace what happens here, Xiphos is doing exactly what is expected -- I don't think we have a bug in how we are making the search query. So I'm left with what appears to be a Sword bug in handling Hebrew. Whether it's a unicode problem or something else, I'm not qualified to say. But I'd appreciate it if those more in the know about this sort of problem could take a look and try to verify whether this is correct. _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
