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

[Greg Hellings]

David,

You can test our latest Windows build by trying the installers at the
bottom of this build page:
https://github.com/crosswire/xiphos/actions/runs/13466454509

They are built with an unpatched Sword 1.9.0 release whereas the older
Windows build you are probably using has a patched 1.8 series. That should
allow you to help diagnose if the Sword version might impact it (and get an
extra set of eyes on the pre-release Windows Xiphos build).
