  <!-- Maintaining Modules -->

  <title>Sword Modules Maintenance</title>

  <media style="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/sword_remove.png"/>

  <p>Several maintenance functions are available: Removal, archival, index, and
  index deletion.</p>

  <p>Removal disposes of a module entirely.  There is no recovery of the module
  unless you have previously archived a copy of it.</p>

  <p>Archival is available for any module, although it is provided with personal
  commentaries specifically in mind. A *.zip of the module is left in the
  directory ~/.sword/zip.  Archival prior to removal of personal commentaries is
  recommended, in order to be available for future re-install if the subject
  matter of the personal commentary becomes important again.</p>

  <p>Indexing is provided so that the underlying Sword search support can create
  the index needed for the "lucene" fast-search functions. If the index is not
  created, plain multi-word search will still be available, but it will be much
  slower. With the index in place, searches through an entire Bible can take
  just a few seconds.</p>

  <p>Indexes may be deleted as well.</p>
