New issue 248 by wcl.k...@gmail.com: Search can not find slothful as an
extension of sloth
http://code.google.com/p/bpbible/issues/detail?id=248

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select a bible, KJV with Strongs for example
2. Select Search, when it opens, use default settings except select NT only.
3. Type in sloth, without any quotes, and press SEARCH button

What is the expected output?
Returns the following verses: Matthew 25:26, Romans 12:11, and Hebrews 6:12
with the word 'slothful' in each verse. Why, because 'slothful' is a
logical extension of 'sloth', as in if I type in the word sin. With that
search I get verses with; sins, sinner, sinners, sinful, sinning, etc....

What do you see instead? The result is that I get an information box saying
that the word sloth is not found in this bible.

What version of the product are you using? Is it the PortableApps Yes
BP Bible 0.5.2
Python 2.6.6
wxPython 2.8.12.1
Sword 1.6
xul Runner 1.9.2

On what operating system? Win 7 Home Premium

If the problem happens with one particular module (Bible, commentary,
dictionary, or book), what module is it? Search Module

Please provide any additional information below.

Sorry for not responding earlier, but basically the answer is that stemming
is an imperfect solution (yes, it would be better for slothful to be
counted as "sloth"). However, because we are not doing any of the work of
stemming we cannot change its behaviour - we just take what is given.

Sorry, I clearly didn't read your comment carefully enough.
Stemming will treat "slothful" and "sloth" as the same, so your search
would work if there was at least one use of "sloth" in the book.
However, it looks like when we are checking "Is this word in the current
book" we're just checking the word, rather than whether there are any other
stemmed versions of the word.
We should fix this.
