Show all the occurrences of a word or phrase, along with some context before and after.
Change how the search phrase limits the results.
Use a case-sensitive search to match words only in their exact form, for example, to match "LORD" but not match "Lord" or "lord." Otherwise, searching for "lord" will match all three forms. Note that regardless of this option, results always show in mixed case.
Use a Tagged search to match words only when used as the entered grammatical part-of-speech. For example, NN is the tag indicating a noun, so seaching for "leave/nn" matches the word "leave" but only when used as a noun. VB is the tag for a verb, so "leave/vb" matches only the verb form. Refer to the POS Tags page to become familiar with all the tags, and read the help on that page to learn more about Bible tagging. Either the word or the tag may be an asterisk (*) character to match any word for the entered tag or any tag for the entered word.
Use a Tags Only search to find phrases that match the entered tag sequence. For example, "dt jjs nn" matches all three-word phrases that are a determiner (DT) followed by a superlative adjective (JJS) followed by a common noun (NN).
Use an Untagged search to just enter Bible words and not be concerned with part-of-speech. This is the default.
Include something extra in the results.
Include pronunciation marks on all proper names, and on a few other words. The system of marking was given by Henry Redpath in The Oxford self-pronouncing Bible of 1897. Refer to his prefatory note from that Bible.
Include a tag after each word indicating what part of speech the word is. Refer to the POS Tags page to learn the meaning of each tag, and read the help on that page to learn more about Bible tagging.
Use an asterisk (*) character to match any word. For example searching for "a * man" will show "a young man," "a just man," "a hairy man," etc. Asterisks at the beginning or at the end of the phrase are ignored.
Use a tilde (~) character for multiple searches at once with combined results. A Replacement Words field shows and each word you enter there is substituted for the tilde and the results show all matching occurrences. For example, use the search phrase "a ~ man" and replacement words "wise foolish" to show all occurrences of either "a wise man" or "a foolish man." (You'll see this happen in the tools/Context page when you show occurrences of a list of words used in a given context.)
Use up to five "~" placeholders and each one gets its own list of replacement words. All the first words from each list are put into their placeholders to make the first search phrase, then all the second words are put in to make the second search phrase, and so on.
Click in the "Occurrences" area to bring up the chapter of the clicked-on occurrence. From the chapter you can browse to other chapters and books, and take notes on books, chapters, and verses, as you can from the Chapters page. See the help on that page for how to do that.
