Answering this took too long, sorry about that. But the beta3 is out and 
it should be easier to compile for everyone. It still needs testing.

We should gather some guidelines for testing the search feature. Here 
are some important:

- Try at least one module from each module type/category.
- Try at least one module with non-ascii unicode characters.
- Try one Greek and one Hebrew module. (instead of or in addition to the 
previous item.)
- Try searching Strong's numbers (in KJV, some Greek modules).
- Try searching morphology (KJV, some Greek modules).
- Try searching adjacent Strong's numbers (some words in KJV represent 
more than one Greek word).
- Try searching for small words: articles, "and", "or"... alone and with 
other words.
- Try searching all available tags (also other than Strong's and 
morphology: heading, footnote).

- Try "All words", "Some words" and "Full".
- Try selecting a set of modules.
- Try the scope/range.
- Try the Strong's numbers feature in the module list in the results area.
- Try Analyzing the results and check if it looks correct.


But these don't cover all situations so common sense is required. Try to 
find new use cases. Test closing and opening the Search dialog in 
different situations and in different ways. Test that it saves and 
restores the settings correctly.
