[sword-devel] SWORD search issue / search type multi Word

[Tom Sullivan]

Clarification:

I use AND and OR all the time. Hints are in the Xiphos docs, if I 
recall, but the boolean operators need to be capitalized and nothing 
else capitalized. To search for a phrase, use quotes. Otherwise each 
word is OR'd with the others. Forgetting to capitalize and can lead to 
searching nearly the whole Bible and appear to hang.

Hope this helps.
