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

[Tobias Klein]

Thank you, Troy! I appreciate it.

I'm using this new search flag now and I'm getting exactly the results 
that I would expect.

I think it's a good idea to make this configurable. I'm now also 
considering to add an option to my user interface to be able to toggle 
this option.
