Other options

On the Search toolbar

P28-1 Tool Bar

  • Most notable is the absence of the charting function in the Basic search which is present in the Bible search.
  • < and > (1) provide navigation to prior and next searches as recorded in search history just as they do in the Bible search.
  • The arrowhead (2) opens to a search history from which one can jump to any selected entry.

In panel menu

P28-2 Panel Menu

Also on the search panel toolbar is the panel menu which lacks several options available in a Bible search:

  • Send to Inline Search (not available)
  • Save as Passage List (not available)
  • Save as Word List (not available)

All other panel menu functions are available in both Basic and Bible searches.

On search argument line

The options for a Basic search that appear on the search argument line are identical to those on the Bible search.

P28-3 Keyboard

The keyboard option allows for three keyboards:

  1. Default
  2. Greek
  3. Hebrew

Note that Syriac is not supported. See Verbum Help (bottom link in keyboard icon menu) for instructions on the use of alternative keyboards.

P28-4 Star

The star icon is used to save the search in the Favorites tool.

In results

P28-5 Result Sections

In the Bible Search results could be present for two sections:

  1. Fuzzy Bible search
  2. Verses which may be displayed in any of four formats:
    1. Grid
    2. Verses
    3. Aligned
    4. Analysis

The Basic Search results could be present for five sections:

  1. Factbook
  2. Your Personal Books which may be displayed in any of three sequences:
    1. Ranked
    2. By Resource
    3. By Count
    4. Library (Downloaded) which may be displayed in any of the same three sequences.
    5. Library (Cloud)
    6. Bookstore

From Verbum Help:

[quote]Ordering Search Results

Basic search results can be ordered in one of three ways:

•     Ranked: Sorts search results in order of relevance.

•     By Resource: Sorts search results alphabetically by title, then sequentially by chapter or article.

•     By Count: Sorts search results according to the total number of occurrences in each resource (descending).

•    Search results in both By Resource and By Count are expandable and collapsible by resource. Click a resource cover or title to expand/collapse.[1]

Note “relevance” as used by “ranked” is an algorithm – see Ranking (information retrieval) - Wikipedia and more specifically tf–idf - Wikipedia.

[1] Verbum Help (Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2018).

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
