  1. Q: How can I search word(s), verse, or references and Strong's number?
    A: Use the Universal Search box for either chapter (ex.:     John 3), verse (ex.: John 3:16), references or word searches (ex.: Jesus), and Strong Numbers (ex.: 25). [back to top]

  2. Q: How to refine/expand my search?
    A: There are three ways to refine your search:
    1. Try using wildcards "*" or "?" for b?tter wor* searches.
      "?" is a placeholder for exactly one letter.
      Ex.: love? will search for loved, loves, and all five-lettered words starting with love. Sara? will search for sara, sarah but not saraph or sara's

      "*" is a placehoder for one or more letters.
      Ex.: Ab*am will search for all words starting with Ab and ending with am, like Abram, Abraham, Abinoam, etc.

    2. Try using operators (AND, OR, NOT, ALL, ANY) to refine your search. AND (&, +)
      grace AND salvation will find all co-occurences of both grace and salvation in the same verses/note items. (The same as Multi Word Search, but come in handy when you want to combine operators.)
      • OR (|)
        Abram OR Abraham will find all verses/note items contain either Abram or Abraham.
      • NOT (-)
        fish NOT bread will find all occurences of fish without bread in the same verse or note item.
      • ALL
        ALL faith hope love is a shortcut of faith AND hope AND love. This is the default behavior of searching.
      • ANY
        ANY faith hope love is a shortcut of faith OR hope OR love.
    3. Try using range (OT and NT) to better focus your searches.
      range OT will search for word(s) in Old Testament only.
      range NT will search for word(s) in New Testament only.
