Hi, It would be great to be able to do enhance the search engines capabilities. I think the technical term for this is "regular expressions". For example, I know other Bible programs which allow you search two words within X amount of verses from each other (proximity search). I think that would be great if you added those features. Thanks!  God bless |

We can already do regular expressions, and one frontend (bpbible) can do proximity searches. Xiphos has proximity search as well, but no one really knows exactly how to use it. |

MacSword uses SearchKit search engine, the same technology that is used in Apple's Spotlight. See here for a available search options: http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/Frontends:MacSw...t_searching_.28default.29 Indexing engines very rarely support regular expression search. Manfred |
