i would think that for search to work there needs to be a way of knowing where words end.

Options are

1) If there is another way of knowing where words end (end forms encoded into text) then we could adapt the search

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.

Betreff: [sword-devel] Languages without a space between words

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?

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.

Best regards,

David
