AFAICT, it works for Bibles and commentaries. It would be fairly easy to extend it for other types of modules. Essentially, in the Lucene index it creates one Document per key (aka reference) and stores the key in that document for retrieval.<div><br></div><div>The big change this release is support for alternate versification.</div><div><br></div><div>Regarding AndBible, it is built on top of JSword not SWORD. For it, indexes are pre-built and downloadable. IIRC, it can build indexes. Currently JSword only supports Bible and commentaries for searching.</div><div><br></div><div>In Him,</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>DM</div><div><br><div><div>On Aug 16, 2013, at 10:56 AM, webmedic <<a href="mailto:webmedic@gmail.com">webmedic@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">right I just saw allot of info flying by about qt and guessed.<div><br></div><div>So what features are being added to the backend</div><div><br></div><div>All my experience these days is with python but since I use pyqt i'm fairly familiar with qt. Just not the c++ version.</div>
<div><br></div><div>All these years I for some reason jsut could not get a simple idea of how to make modules for sword so I started making them for other apps that for instance used sqlite as the backend. Dumping my data into a database was simple.</div>
<div><br></div><div>More recently though I have wanted to make these into sword modules and my biggest thing was being able to search indexed modules right along with bibles. For this the other solutions worked well also.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Over the years I have watched bibletime but as it was released for windows I had already been working on the other stuff so never started using it seriously or looking to porting to the sword backend.</div>
<div><br></div><div>More recently I have found that I have moved way beyond that to general reader. I have worked on an epub reader that has an indexed search backend. For myself I use it for my modules now as it is by far the easiest to deal with. The other app I had been writing for used rtf for dispaly and it took much time and fiddling. Now epubs I produce quickly.</div>
<div><br></div><div>During this process though I have also gotten some code to export to different formats. Sword being one of them. I haven't looked yet but assume it exports to osis. Either way I'm much interested to know about the backend search capabilities. As I want a whole reference library to be searchable. I'm fine with my own app and it works perfect for this but as stated it is more of a general book reader with built in search.</div>
<div><br></div><div>sword, e-sword, theword, and others allow a level of study on word level with strongs, bdb and others that my app is not really intended for. In this need I believe exporting to as many kinds of modules is a very important thing. Then I can just let the user choose what they want to display their text.</div>
<div><br></div><div>On a side note I do use sword based software on both my iphone and android phones and the search would be awesome there also. Currently ebooks at least offer single word search on them which is good but could be better and having this built into the biblestudy app would be the best option so it's all in one place. I use andbible for android and pocketsword for ios.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have really loved this project over the years and am very interested in how it progresses. I believe it to be lead from above and I hope for unity within this community and all those working together to produce much more than what any single one could have done. The divine combined with humanity is what gives success. And as we draw closer to him there will be found that love for one another to work together in ways we have not yet imagined. Love you all and hope for a continued working relationship with you all.</div>

The SWORD in focus for a new release is the "back-end", not "The SWORD<br>
Project for Windows".<br>
