Please let me know if there is anything non- or semi-technical I can do
(testing, etc.) to help with this. I was surprised to learn that BW (and
Logos 4, I would add) uses such arcane syntax, but it really is powerful
once you learn it. I wonder how many users simply do not make use of the
powerful tools at their fingertips because they are intimidated by the
syntax. The only person I know who uses this to great effect is a PHP
programmer with a computer science degree...

Chris,
We're toyed around with the best way to add lemma+morph searching in
SWORD but haven't finalized anything yet.
Indexing Morphology codes won't helps. This would give you 2 fields
which need to be used together.
For example, if you wish to find λογος only in the nominative within 3
words of any present, active, indicative, 2 persons singular or plural
verb, you could not satisfy your search.
Believe it or not, end users of tools like Bibleworks seem quite happy
to learn odd syntax like:
"λογος@* *@PAI2?"~3
Of course GUI tools to help build that syntax for them is also desired.
This it the direction we're heading, but would require lemma encoding
changed from strongs to lexical form.
Presently we could nearly obtain this by building an index as (from
the start of John 1.1):
G1722@PREP G746@N-DSF G2258@V-IXI-3S
But this would require users to know strongs numbers rather than
lexical form, which would almost certainly need a GUI to help them
build the search syntax.
Hope this helps,
Troy

Hello
Does anyone know/tried some kind of stem search with JSword? Is it
implemented? Or would we need to do a bit more work there?
