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

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Dear Tobias,

I have spent a bit of time documenting this a bit better in trunk and
have added a new flag (SEARCHFLAG_STRICTBOUNDARIES) to turn off the
default behavior to use a sliding window to find results.

When performing a multiword (non-indexed) search with the NASB using
your 2 terms, I now get these hit counts:

no flags: 86

REG_ICASE: 93

REG_ICASE | SEARCHFLAG_STRICTBOUNDARIES: 51


Hope this helps,

Troy
