<div>i would think that for search to work there needs to be a way of knowing where words end.<br/>
<br/>
Options are</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1) If there is another way of knowing where words end (end forms encoded into text) then we could adapt the search</div>
<div>2) If there is not then translators should consider adding ZWNJ spaces between words for this purpose. We could then per language using that as a word separator.<br/>

<div>How (if at all) does the SWORD API generate a search index for a module that is for a language without a space between words?</div>
<div>
<pre style="letter-spacing: normal;text-indent: 0.0px;text-transform: none;word-spacing: 0.0px;text-decoration: none;box-sizing: border-box;margin: 15.0px 0.0px;border: 1.0px solid rgb(221,221,221);line-height: 19.0px;overflow: auto;padding: 6.0px 10.0px;"><code style="box-sizing: border-box;">Please consider how best to generate a useful search index for modules that are
for Bible translations in languages that have no spaces between words.
Example: CrossWire module ThaiKJV
See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Writing_systems_without_word_boundaries
Has this ever been considered before.</code></pre>
