[jsword-devel] MorphGreek Search

[Steven Mullins]

DM,

That's great news!  I have been looking at http://emdros.org/ for lingustic 
analysis of the Greek New Testament.  I think that Lucene might do all the 
analysis that I need though, without Emdros.  Let me know when you have a 
version working and I'll give it a try.  Maybe when the command line searches 
are working well, we can make a GUI search builder.

Welcome Steve,

This is a great idea! And it would be pretty easy to do.

I'm in the middle of updating to Lucene 2.3 (it is about to be released) 
and there are some optimizations I am working on. If you give me a 
couple of days I should be done and will point you in the right direction.
