Select the File menu and click Preferences. Select the Misc. Options page.
Search Bible Default determines which Bible version is set for searching in the Search Bible Dialog when it is opened. Select Last Searched Bible Version to have the dialog set to search the last Bible version you performed a search on. Select Active Bible Version to have the dialog set to search whichever Bible version is currently active in the Bible panel. This setting has no effect on the Quick Bible Search toolbar, which always uses the active Bible version in the Bible panel.
You can still change the search version in the Search Bible Dialog once it opens. This setting only defines what version it will initially be set to.
Checking for Updates controls how often (and if) SwordSearcher will offer to check for updates.
Misc.:
When Clear History... is toggled on, SwordSearcher will not save history lists between sessions for Bible searches, Full Library searches, etc. Essentially, any of the entry boxes that offer a pull-down history list of previously entered text will be erased when you close SwordSearcher.
When Use system-wide hotkey for auto verse copy+paste is toggled on, the Ctrl+Alt+V hotkey will work outside of SwordSearcher to automatically paste verses into other applications, as long as SwordSearcher is running in the background. See Automatically pasting verses into another application for details.
When Use plain-text clipboard copy with marked text in displays is toggled on, text copied to the clipboard by marking with the mouse will always be in plain format. Use this to prevent formatting styles from being inserted with the text when you paste into a word processing document. This can also solve compatibility issues with some programs that do not properly handle HTML clipboard objects.
Pop-up verse text:
When Use context preview in Book and Commentary panels for links with less than five verses is toggled on, pop-up verse text will include a context preview up to a range of five verses. This setting applies to the Book and Commentary panels, as well as the Scan Text for Verse References tool, but is ignored if the verse hyperlink contains multiple verse ranges (set in Text Display Options). Note that the context preview is always shown for verse tag links in Verse List panels.
Example of pop-up verse text with context preview.
Example of pop-up verse text without context preview.
Bible module for pop-up verse text controls the Bible text used to display pop-up verse text. The default setting is "Use active module in Bible panel." You may select a module to always use regardless of the active Bible module.
