Package org.crosswire.jsword.book.search Description

This package helps implementors of the various Book interfaces implement search.

Search can be split into 2 sections, the actual indexing, and the parsing of queries. The Index and Parser interfaces represent these sections. Some implementations of the SearchEngine interface (like ser) will use this splitting, whilst Lucene uses it's own code.
