Thanks for the report.

This means that we have either to help - or to pray hard. Search is one
of the most important features of any Bible software and the fast lucene
engine is a great advantage for us even though the Sword library has
other engines.

I suggest we all pray that the clucene project gets more
developers/developer time/solutions to problems.
