  • aaron ~5 , moses (verses with aaron within 5 verses of moses)
  • soundslike aaron (verses with words that sound like aaron. Can also use sl ...)
  • thesaurus happy (verses with words that mean happy. Can also use th ...)
  • grammar have (words like has have had and so on. Can also use gr ...)
• The ability to add soundslike type extensions.
