1.Bible Search results may be shoown in Grid, Verses, Aligned or Analysis format. They also have a graphic display option. Note that merely requesting a version does not guarantee that it shows in the results e.g. if the search argument requires a reverse interlinear. The results here are shown in grid format. The grid refers to the manner in which the multiple translations are shown and marked selected/not selected.

2. While I'm not going to discuss it in this post, this is the screen that opens if you select graph results.

3. In verse format the results are shown in resource, canonical order sequence

4. Note you have the option to add additional translations to the display. This is independent of the resources selected for searching.

5. In the aligned format, the verses are still shown in resource, canonical sequence but the results are aligned so that the selected word or phrase forms a column with the context appearing on either side. Remember that a Bible search uses a verse as the unit searched and only display results within the verse.

6. The anaylsis view allows you to display a great deal of information about the selected word. Theheading line works much like that of the library panel. Click on a blank location to get a drop down list of all available fields. This that are checked will display.

7. You can drop and drag an column to organize the fields in the sequence of your choice.

8. Changing example to have more data that is visible, you may drag and drop fields in the sort area to change the sequence of the results. In this case I reversed the Reference/Resource sequence.
