Sorry Brian, I was ambiguous in my statement. When I stated that 'we' support both, I was wearing my engine api programming hat. Bishop is not an end user frontend. It is merely a test harness for the C++ engine on Android. We as a community of developers at CrossWire have both options available to us for writing applications. > Like you, I'd appreciate the option to index at least the > Bibles that I use all of the time.

Sure, I believe And-Bible does this with JSword (though I'm not sure if it is done in the background). I have not yet attempted to compile with the Android NDK the SWORD C++ engine with clucene turned on to support index building and usage with the C++ engine. > I do agree that regex and more complex searches are really nice, but the > typical search (on one of my "favorite" Bibles) is pretty simple and an > index does make it faster.

The engine exposes the ability to create indecies on individual modules, and I believe most frontends allow you to search unindexed or to build an index for an individual module. I had hoped this would also be the case for our Android offerings. > Also ... now that I look at the "About" page, it says "and other study > helps" ... does that mean General Books? That would totally rock for me. :) Well, theoretically the JNI bindings for the C++ engine allow general books to be installed and displayed, but I don't have any hooks in bishop to test this functionality yet. Hope that clears things up a bit. Thanks again for the comments.
