The jsword-devel and sword-devel archives will have a complete answer. In a nutshell, Lucene is sensitive to changes. If the current version of Lucene, Java, JSword, Unicode, … don't match then searching does not work well.

It has not been implemented. Some here have explored it. From what I recall, it will change/invalidate the indexes.

Basically, you take a search result hit and search that with a highlighter which does the markup.
