Book Ranges, Result Types, and Everything But
You can now pick a range of books, you have more ways to deal with large concordance result sets, and you can now search the concordance for everything but.
Book Ranges
The article that introduced concordance book restrictions noted that it would be nice to select a group of books, for example all twenty-seven books of the new testament, with a single click. You still can't single-click predefined book groups, but you can now select any range of consecutive books with two clicks, if you have a dedicated keyboard. Select the first book then hold down the Shift key and select the second book, and all books in between will be selected. Shift-clicking works in the book lists on the Concordance page and on the Generate page. Unselecting a range works the same way: unselect a book, then hold down Shift while you click a second book, and all books in between will be unselected.
Shift-clicking is nice from a computer, but you probably can't do it from your phone, so in the future you still might see a predefined list of single-click book groups to pick from.
Concordance Result Types
The concordance shows how your search phrase is used in different contexts, but when you want only the count of how many times it's used or the graph of how it's spread throughout the Bible, then all the text of the results is just in the way. For a small result set it's easy to ignore the text and focus on the count or on the graph, but if there are a lot of matches then it's a waste of time and money to wait while the backend assembles full results. Now you can speed things up and save some money with the "Count Only" and "Count/Graph" result types, under the "Options" panel.
Use "Count Only" to quickly see just the count of matches, even when there are tens of thousands of them. "Count/Graph" is nearly as fast and behind the scenes also returns the location in the Bible of each match, but doesn't return any context. This is enough to enable graphing, but clicking on a data point in this case can't show any context. (Be aware that graphing large result sets can slow your device, as discussed in the Concordance help.) The default result type is "Full," which works as before.
Everything But
The concordance search phrase now lets you match every word except a certain word. This is called "word negation," and it's triggered by putting a caret (^) character at the front of the word. (On most computers the caret is "Shift-6," and your phone's keyboard will have it somewhere, too.) As an example, searching for "in the ^beginning" matches "in the midst," "in the firmament," "in the sight," etc., but not "in the beginning." Read the help for all the details.
Now that the search phrase offers three special characters for controlling things, asterisk (*), tilde (~), and caret (^), it might be time for some help remembering all the ways these can be used. In the future you might see a "phrase builder" tool or some such thing that you can optionally use to guide you in constructing what to search for. Use the Contact page to give your ideas.
