[sword-devel] Search for word in Sword

[Adrian Korten]

Good day,

We came up against a small problem with our Thai test module. When 
searching for a word whose characters are part of other words, there is 
no way to delimit the word. This occurs because Thai has no word breaks. 
Somehow, the rtf engine seems to break the Thai words reasonably 
accurately on the display of text. However, that same logic does not 
seem to be in the search module.

The only alternative that I could come up with is to place Unicode 
characters in as word breaks. Unicode has various characters to indicate 
word breaks (non-breaking spaces, hyphenable breaks) invisibly. These 
would have to be placed in the actual text module as UTF8 characters.

If you have any other suggestions, please let us know.

P.S. By the way, I have seen Don E.'s first mockup web page and liked it 
with the same comments as others. Does this web development and Troy's 
new project mean that it will be replacing the Diatheke (v1.3)?
