Like Troy mentioned, we can turn on the ICU Thai word-breaking for searches. This, the option to display with whitespace word-breaks, and transliteration with whitespace word-breaks were actually the reasons why I didn't drop the relatively large Thai dictionary from ICU > The only alternative that I could come up with is to place Unicode > characters in as word breaks.

You should encode as Unicode recommends, which I assume means no divisions between words at all. Adding tags like Frank suggested wouldn't help anyway because the strip filters will strip them out before searching. --Chris _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel
