• Boolean Searches - Find a passage when you remember a few words. Use AND, OR, NOT and XOR to perform searches like:
  • "Jesus AND Peter" to find everywhere Jesus and Peter are mentioned in the same verse.
  • "Paul OR Saul" when limited to the New Testament finds references to the Apostle Paul under either name.
• Phrase Searches - Find any phrase ("John the Baptist") or combine phrases with words using Boolean operators.
• Wildcard Searches - Find words with any ending ("bapt*"), any prefix ("*ful") or any characters in the middle ("un*ness"). Use ? to match a single character ("?aul" for "Paul" or "Saul").
