Searching for Phrases
You can search for phrases—adjacent
or nearly adjacent words in a particular
order—by selecting an ordered search
and a narrow search width.
An ordered search finds words only in
the order that you enter them. For ex-
ample, an ordered search for
Holy
Spirit
will not find
spirit holy
.
The search width determines how far
apart your search words can be in the
Bible and still be a match.
