Filtro ricerca
The search field already offers many options for refining the search query. In addition, further settings for the search result can be made in the search filters. You can access the search filters via the funnel icon on the search results page, to the right of the search field.
If the search has been adjusted using filters, this is indicated by an orange dot on the funnel icon. There is also a “Reset” link in the search filter pop-up, which resets the filters to the default settings.
The following settings are available in detail:
Smart Search: This modern search type enables a meaning-based search for Bible verses. You can specify whether the results should prioritize meaning-based (content-based) or keyword-based hits (default: balanced). The hit list is always sorted by relevance. In the translation comparison, the search is only applied to the first translation. The same verses are displayed in the other translations. If you want to use a different translation for the search, you must change the default Bible in the left-hand column.
Classic Search: This search type is a purely keyword-based search. By default, whole words are searched for. The following additional options are available for the classic search:
You can use the Search partial words option to extend the search so that terms that begin with the search word are also found.
In addition to the Bible texts, the headings can also be searched. To do this, activate the option Search headings .
With the option Exact word sequence you search for an exact word group - this corresponds to a search with quotation marks in the search field (see also Search Bible text). Only hits are then displayed in which the word group appears exactly as it does in the text.
By default, umlauts are not differentiated in German - a search for “Vögel” will therefore also find “Vogel”. With the option Include umlauts , however, a distinction is made between a/ä, o/ö and u/ü.
The search can also be restricted to certain biblical books. This can be done in the “Narrow search” section of the search filter. There you can select individual books or select or deselect entire testaments (OT or NT) as well as the apocrypha.
