    This was introduced with the latest version 3.8.0. I am working on a solution now.

    Equipd does not react when I look up for a word. Buttons : (enter), OK, Cancel does not react. Please help.
    (It used to work, I don’t know what happened since). Thank you,

    Thanks for your patience on this one. I am having to totally rework the search feature as low-level changes in version 3.8 are freezing the UI thread while the search is being performed. 3.8 introduced many performance improvements which a lot of users have noticed, but this is an unfortunate side affect that was not caught in testing (which I am very disappointed about).

    I am going to push out an update for the other issues reported in 3.8, but the search needs more work before it will be fixed I am sorry. The fix should follow within the next week. I apologise for the inconvenience.

    Sorry for the delay, but I am pleased to announce that this issue is resolved.

    Not only resolved, but I have managed to improve the search tool quite a lot:
    • Significantly faster search times.
    • You can now use “quotes” to search for an exact phrase. For example search for “in the beginning” (see screenshot).
    • A counter shows the number of matching verses (see screenshot).
    • All matching search words or phrases within the verse are highlighted.
    Search - Initialising.png Search - Exact Phrase Match.png Search - Highlighting Words.png

    Note: The first time you go to search a specific Bible, it will perform a one-off process to speed up the search. It can take up to 60 seconds for this process to complete. Please just be patient – you will only need to wait for this once. The benefits are worth it.

    This fix will be part of version 3.8.1 which I am resubmitting to Apple now.

    Version 3.8.1 is out now. Any feedback on if this has fixed the issue for you and if you find it faster?
