Just to clarify: the only thing that causes a segfault is searching for a stopword *only*. So searching for "God is" will currently return every result for God, whether or not the verse includes "is". IMO, and obviously shared by some here, returning hits for only "God" when searching for "God is" is incorrect and is more likely to cause confusion than changing to include these words in the index. (someone is more likely to say, "wow this program is finally searching correctly", than "I used to search for 'God is' but now it actually does it; can I have the old broken behavior back?" * Matthew * 'old broken behavior' is used for dramatic effect; it is not an insult nor a criticism of the current indexing. _______________________________________________ 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
