I can do this easily with Bibletime, simply by right-clicking on a word in
my module text and choosing "Strong's search". I know you can search for
Strong's numbers in Xiphos as well.

I am curious, whether making the indexes downloadable instead of making the
mobile device create them (like PocketSword does), would allow greater
leeway in what gets included in the indexes.
