Topic Explorer

WORDsearch was the first Bible software to offer topical indexes to its works, and we’ve continued to lead with refinement of this valuable feature.  Here are some of the enhancements in WORDsearch 8:

 
  • Finds a topic anywhere in a heading.  In prior versions, the search term had to appear as the first word in a topic heading to be found. WORDsearch 8 can find it anywhere in the heading, or with a quick click, can go back to the first-only mode. For example, searching the topic “soul” in WORDsearch 7 will find lots of entries for “soul,” plus “soul savers,” and “soul-winning”. WORDsearch 8 will find all those, plus “human soul”, “lost souls”, “renewed soul”, “saving souls”, and many more.
  • Previews articles.  WORDsearch 8 shows a list of matching topics and presents the article in a preview window as you browse the matches. Prior versions opened a new window for each article you viewed. This new mode will save you time and keep your desktop clear. You can still open a new window on an article with a single click, and you can arrange the preview window vertically or horizontally for your convenience.
  • Taps topics at key websites.  WORDsearch 8 applies your topical searches to some of the best secular topical resources out on the Web, and brings the results right into the window with your personal library. Currently this includes Reference.com, Encarta.com, and Wikipedia.com. Bible verse text will popup as you mouse over valid verse references.
  • Works with collections so you can control which sources are checked—from your library, your documents, selected Internet websites, and Community Library.
