Actually this probably is a sword issue. I reported a bug (API-151) in April and this problem seems consistent with that bug. Any chance of getting some attention on API-151?

Hi guys,

Something strange is going on. The search function for Bibletime (latest in Ubuntu 12.04 repository) has more problems than just the strong's search issue in the TR module.

I opened it today and did a regular English search for "longsuffering" (KJV module) and got New Testament locations only. Xiphos gives the full search results, starting with a reference in Exodus 34:6, and its searches all seem to be fine.

I then tried other words. "bush" (I was going for the burning bush in Exodus) and also got only New Testament references (to the burning bush, in the Gospels). So I tried "Moses", and the first reference I got was in Malachi!

What's going on here? I would happy to do whatever to troubleshoot the problem to help out, but I would think someone on the devel team for Bibletime would like to get this one figured out...

    Hey all,

    I sent this out before, but as I first tried just before the
    servers came
    back on, and then right after, I'm not sure anyone actually saw
    the message.

    When running BibleTime, one of my favorite functions is to
    right-click on a
    word, and choose "Strong's Search". However, after a recent upgrade to
    Ubuntu 12.04, and the accompanying version of BibleTime, the Strong's
    Search function is no longer working with the TR module. It does
    work for
    other modules (KJV, for instance), but not for TR.

    I have deleted indexes, re-created indexes, re-installed modules,
    recreated
    indexes using Xiphos instead of BibleTime... nothing has worked so
    far. The
    search box comes up like it normally would, as if the program
    *thinks* it
    did the search, but it is empty. No results.

    Xiphos performs Lucene lemma searches on the same module without any
    problem. However, I like the simplicity and convenience of BibleTime's
    interface for this.

    Does anyone have any idea why the TR module is not working (it
    used to,
    before my upgrade)? I downloaded the module fresh in BibleTime
    after the
    upgrade.

    Does anyone have any idea how to trouble shoot my issue?

    Thanks,
    Matthew Patenaude
