[bd-users] Search broken in v1.6

[DM Smith]

Jason,
I am very embarrassed about this. I inadvertently changed the index  
and it broke search against old indexes. There is no problem with 1.6,  
otherwise. If you go to:
Tools -> Books -> Installed Books and then click on "Remove Search  
Index" (and confirm the removal). Then in the main window, recreate  
the index by clicking on "Enable Search" everything should be back to  
where you expected.

The difference in the new search is that it will search for word  
stems. So searches for "judge" will also find "judges".

In Him,
	DM
