Searching

Pastor Michael Huffman

When searching a collection on a verse, say John 17:6, is it better to put in the search box <bible = john 17:6>, john 17:6, or "john 17:6", or does it matter and all those things will give you the same results? Thanks!

Hi Michael

As you can see from the example below, all the options you suggest give different results

 

• The first finds hits where the exact reference is found
• The second finds hits where the quoted string is found
• The third finds hits for references which include the reference given

Hope this helps

Graham
