[sword-devel] PocketSword and non-Lucene search?

[David Haslam]

Is PocketSword unique among SWORD based front-ends in being the only one
where all searches must use the Lucene search index?  I think so.

i.e. You cannot perform a non-Lucene search with PocketSword.

With my observations about Coptic to the fore, this essentially means that
you cannot use PocketSword to search modules that have a non-Roman script
such as Coptic.

If it was due to which Unicode version Lucene supports, there may be other
scripts such as *Ethiopic Extended* (added under 4.1) that present the same
symptoms.

That's a strong added reason for the PocketSword developers to facilitate a
non-indexed search method, at least as a user option.

Nic's already thinking about this, in view of the greater processing power
of more recent Apple iOS based devices.

Best regards,

David
