This is a very disorganised area.
1) the basic expectation from CrossWire's site is that each front-end creates the indeces on the device, does not receive them as downloads
2) as mobile phones were at least in the past not always capable of creating their own indeces PocketSword at least released some indeces for download. I was not aware that And Bible did the same, but I am not surprised. That said, today's phones are more than capable of producing their own indeces.
3) downloads are precarious as the format of the indeces is not in our hand, them being produced by variable versions of Lucene and cLucene. Right now there is a discrepancy between PocketSword's expectation and the currently on our server produced indeces. I have not yet got to the bottom of it.
In summary, producing and maintaining indeces is precarious and increasingly only a pain. I do not think you should produce them and I think any remaining n ing front-ends using downloads will hopefully move on from that

Sorry for what might be a frequently asked question, but I can't find it on the Crosswire wiki:
I am working on creating our own in-house repository. How are we supposed to create the search indexes for download?
AndBible has a button for downloading the index, which works on some modules but not on others.
I've looked on the various ftp repositories, but don't see anything that looks like search indexes.
Can anybody give me a pointer on this?
Thanks.
