Chinese Search Results in Force Closes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Choose a Chinese translation
2. Find anything (even with English characters)
3. App force closes

I read on the main page that it's in the plan. Just would like to file an issue 
to better keep track of it.

God Bless.

Hi,

JSword used the SmartCN Lucene analyzer to search Chinese bibles but 
unfortunately mobile phones do not have sufficient memory for SmartCN.  I 
believe there are alternatives which would work in low memory situations but 
have not researched them yet.

A friendly message is supposed to be displayed if a user attempts to search a 
Chinese bible but unfortunately a code change meant that my check has not been 
working for a while and instead of the planned message an error is generated.

Could I file another issue as Feature Request for Chinese search...?

BTW, do you think these would help...?

Besides, the Chinese Union version 
(http://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModInfo.jsp?modName=ChiUn) has 
redundant spaces between each characters, which I believe will hinder the 
indexing and searching.

Hi loyukfai,

I can raise a new issue for you or, if you raise a new issue yourself you will 
be automatically e-mailed whenever the issue is updated.  Alternatively I can 
reopen and rename this issue.

Thank you for the information about Chinese Analyzers.  The projects you 
referenced look very promising.  And I apologise that Chinese Search is not 
currently available in And Bible.

Can I give you a little background.  And Bible is based on JSword which does 
include the ability to search Chinese bibles.  However, the method used 
required more memory than is available on a mobile phone and so it had to be 
specifically removed.

The intention is to include Chinese search again but we need to do some 
research and investigation first.

Chinese search is coded and will be included in the next release
