This fix was reported in <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/64" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/64</a> and <a href="https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/65" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues/65</a>

<p>
I broke then multiple-word search function when tweaking the search algorithm to reduce the importance of shorter pages. This bug affected 2016-05 wikis and earlier. I missed it because I'm working on 2016-06 wikis.
</p>
<p>
I put a fix in now and tested with a 2016-05 copy of English Wikipedia.

<p>
Thanks to William and Ope30 for reporting these issues!

There were a number of fixes for crashes in uncommon scenarios. Most of these involved switching SD cards, or deleting wikis outside XOWA. The crash was bad enough such that XOWA would not work unless the Storage files were cleared (or XOWA was reinstalled).
