I imagine this could be done but it would be a long and tedious task. And are 
you wanting scriptures where the words are translated or just where the 
actual word occurs in the original language? But thinking about it more, this 
might also be accomplish-able by being able to search modules for Strong's 
numbers as well....hmmmmmm.......

Modules are indexed as far as I know, but I have no idea if searches use them. 
Search speeds would depend on things like how many modules are used for the 
search, the word being searched for (the more occurrences the longer I would 
assume), the type of search (regexp, for example, could possibly be slower 
due to how matches are made and how complex your expression is), any 
graphical updating your front-end has to do (drawing progress bars does eat 
up small portions of search time), and other such things.
