[sword-devel] Sword phrase search not returning all expected results

[David Haslam]

Hi Tobias,

Karl is working towards a new release of Xiphos (March 2025 ?) that will support SWORD 1.9.0

See in [GitHub - crosswire/xiphos: Xiphos is a Bible study tool written for Linux, UNIX, and Windows using GTK, offering a rich and featureful environment for reading, study, and research using modules from The SWORD Project and elsewhere.](https://github.com/crosswire/xiphos)

Best regards,

David
