1 second without indexing? What do you have for a expensive PC ? ;-)
My PC (AMD K6-2 400@300, 128MB Ram) needs some seonds! 
BibleTime does now work with the indexing mechanism, it's not so fast as 
cheatah but much more fast than before. Often used take very lomg.
BTW, Sword does behace strange now i you search the GerBen module for "God 
love world", it shows some thousand 1. Mose 0:1 and some Revelation entries 
(over 10000 found entries).
