[sword-devel] search failing in Hebrew modules

[Matthew Talbert]

Hmm, seems you missed the part where searches with vowels work, but
searches without don't. eg,
http://crosswire.org/study/wordsearchresults.jsp?searchTerm=מארת

And, as I noted, exactly the opposite occurs with diatheke, where
searches with vowels *don't* work, but searches without vowels do.

Matthew

btw, if the "useless statements comment" is aimed at me, I wasn't
blaming anyone, except pointing out that it wasn't (imo) clucene.
