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.......

I don't mean all the KJV, I just mean a reverse of what is presently
available in the KJV. Like what Crosswalk.com does with the Strong's
concordance there. Instead of showing, in a particular verse, the Strong's
#s for each of the individual words, the ability to look at a Strong's entry
and find all the verses where it occurs. It should be a simple matter of
doing the reverse task on the index.

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.

I was using the package that can be downloaded from crosswire.com, and doing
a plain search (not a regexp).
