New in SwordSearcher 10, Find Verses About is a dedicated search window for natural language Bible searching. Unlike a traditional keyword search, which looks for exact words, natural language search understands the concepts and ideas you are looking for and returns the most relevant verses, ranked by relevance.

Best of all, this is completely private and runs entirely on your own computer. Your searches are never sent to the internet or processed in the cloud—everything happens locally within SwordSearcher.

Search for ideas, topics, and concepts using everyday language and questions:

  • help in hard times
  • comfort for those who are grieving
  • instructions to husbands and wives
  • God cares for me more than the birds

This is also incredibly useful when you vaguely recall a verse and want to find it. Verse matches update instantly as you type—you don't need to press Enter or click a button to see results. The window shows the top 50 matches, and you can load results into a full verse list panel (up to 500 ranked verses) for deeper study.

Natural language search is also integrated into the main search bar. Type a phrase like "verses about forgiveness" and SwordSearcher automatically detects it as a natural language query. If a keyword search returns no results, pressing Enter opens Find Verses About as a fallback.

Find Verses About is also available as a StudyClick action—hold Ctrl and click text in any panel to search for it by meaning.
