Searching and Indexing

Quick Search Functions

You can quickly perform a Bible search with the Quick Bible Search toolbar.

You can quickly search the active Book with Quick Search in Active Book on the Search Menu.

You can quickly search the active Commentary with Quick Search in Active Commentary on the Search Menu.

You can search the text displayed in a panel without searching the entire module with Find in Focused Panel Text on the Search Menu.

More Detailed Search Functions

The Search Bible dialog provides you with all of the tools and control you need to search Bible text. It can even help you search for words you're not sure know how to spell.

The Full Library Search dialog allows you to search all or part of the entire SwordSearcher library, including Bibles, Books & Dictionaries, and Commentaries.

The Search KJV Words of Christ dialog allows you to do a Bible search restricted to the "red letter" words (KJV Bible module only).

If you need even more searching power, the Quick Bible Search toolbar, Search Bible dialog, Search Words of Christ dialog, and Full Library Search all support SwordSearcher's Advanced Search Expression Syntax.

Indexing Tools

A Verse Guide panel shows you all of the library material that references a particular verse or passage. It's a great way to conduct a verse-centric study and still be able to access topical information as well as cross-referenced material. You can open a Verse Guide panel with the Go to Verse Toolbar or by right-clicking a verse in the Bible panel and selecting Verse Guide.

The Topic and Verse Guide includes the functionality of a Verse Guide panel and adds the ability to create a dynamic index of all Books and Dictionaries for a given topic.

The English-Strong's Indexer is a word-study tool that works much like a Young's Analytical Concordance.

The Library Table of Contents is a central location to view the entire installed library index.

Displaying Verse References

Select Display Verses on the Search menu to open and load a Verse List with one or more verse references.

The Scan Text for Verse References tool hot-links verse references in any text you provide, such as a document from a web page. It can also be used to load a longer list of verse reference into a Verse List.

Strong's Numbers

The King James Version with Strong's Links is a special Bible module in SwordSearcher that includes links to Strong's definitions of Hebrew and Greek words in the text. The KJVSL is searchable by Strong's numbers as well.
