The second Tab in the Master Control Panel is Bible Proximity Search.
This powerful search method will search for words separated by a specified number of
verses.
To search,
- Select the Book Search
Range (Entire Bible is default)
- Enter a Primary Word
in the top entry box
- Enter Secondary Word(s)
in the second box
- Select the maximum Verse Range
between words in the third box (3 is default)
- Uncheck Whole if
searching for partial words (checked by default)
Bible Analyzer will display under a new Prox Tab in the Results Panel the first
instance where the secondary word(s) is within the specified range of the primary word.
In the Results Panel display both the Primary and Secondary words will be highlighted
in bold and a different color. To find the Next instance click the >> button near the
bottom of the control. The << will show the Previous match. All matches will display
under the same Prox Tab.
Note:
If a range of 3 verses is entered, a seven verse span of verses will be displayed
with the verse containing the primary word in the center. If a range of 1 is
entered, three verses will be displayed, etc.
Along with the results Bible Analyzer will also display in Master Control Panel some
information such as the match verse, distance between words, match count, and
present match index in the Proximity Display
Hint!
The user can still left-click an underlined reference in the Results Panel to
display the verse in context.
Hint!
To speed up proximity searches put the least common word in the Primary box
and the more common words in the Secondary. That way Bible Analyzer will
not have to search as long to get all the matches.
