My suggestion would be to avoid pre-built indices. However, given I'm the one who first went about making them, I think there are pros in certain situations. :P<br>
<br>
In my situation, I get to be gatekeeper over the entire solution (PocketSword), where users cannot change the version of clucene or libsword behind my back. And so I can be aware of when things might break (& increment my "v1" bit of the download URL of the indices).<br>
<br>
BTW, I would strongly suggest that no one else use either the and-bible or PocketSword pre-built indices due to incompatibilities that have been explained in other posts. :)<br>
I'd also strongly suggest that no one else creates new ones for another platform, unless it's absolutely necessary. They are messy, as you can probably gather from all these posts! :)<br>

Thanks, ybic<br>
nic... :)<br>
