Well, it's that time of year, so here's a gift:

From the changelog:
New in 1.4:
- Added xls import (throws errors if any lines have empty cells)
- Ctrl-J shows/hides source column (only works correctly if source is the last column in the table)
- Ctrl-U shows context
- Minor match highlighting fixes
- Alphabetical hit sorting added, see setup file
- PgUp/PgDn and Ctrl-Home/Ctrl-End functionality added
- Thanks to an SQLite version update to 3.8.10, the see context option now produces instant results even on large DBs.
I just threw this release together based on the current version I'm using, so let me know if something is off. Xls import is essentially untested, but everything else should be solid.
Note that the SQLite engine in TML was updated, which should improve performance. Whether or not that is a meaningful improvement in the kinds of searches TMLookup does is unclear. I never tested this, although it wouldn't be hard.
The good news is that the diligent people at SQLite HQ are working on a new release of the full-text search engine, with the imaginative moniker of FTS5 (current version is FTS4). Actually, they have already released it but it will take a while to trickle down to TMLookup. If and when that happens, it should bring improved (perfect) match highlighting at last, and better performance. Along with a requirement to update all your DBs to the new internal format. Again. Such is progress. Onwards and upwards!
