Problem with the Watson Dictionary

Watson's dictionary, A Biblical and Theological Dictionary, has a problem. In a Bible passage containing the word 'circumcision', if clicked nothing will show in Watson's dictionary. However, if you go to the dropdown and begin typing 'circumcision' by the time you get to the 'r' the word Circumcision shows up as an autocomplete. If you use the autocomplete, then the topic will show up. The issue must be that the search engine for this module is case-sensitive. It should not be.

** I just noticed that the Way of Life Encyclopedia of the Bible & Christianity does the same thing. Also, Jewish Encyclopedia.

Thanks.

The issue was some of the topics in the base file the modules are compiled from had a space at the end of the word and thus Bible Analyzer saw them as different words. I corrected Watson and the Jewish Encyclopedia, and they are now available via the Download Manager. (The WOLE worked ok for me.) Just redownload each to update.

Thanks.
