Nice thing.

I'm using indexing. IMHO the slower speed is related to our object tree 
model. We create a a list of found items. Each found key has an own object. 
Creating it takes some time. I's a thing we should improve.

Yes.

If I use "Case sensitive" search it works correctly, but If I use 
"non-case-sensitive" search so the index-stuff is enabled it doesn't work. 
You can test it in cheatah.
BTW, the GerBen module does only have a New testament, the old is empty. 
Maybe this is causing the problem?
