An issue preventing the Bible tester from working has been resolved in the latest release. This release is only available as a patch. This issue resulted in the tester giving a false negative for every test, even when the Bibles are installed properly and the Bible search is working. Download Patch 2.0.71 if this is an issue for you. (If the Bible search is working properly, you don’t need to apply this patch.)
A new version of Bible SuperSearch has been released. 2.0.70 includes a completely new, much faster proximity search algorithm. Also added as an extension of the proximity search is the capability to search for all words, within a chapter. (All words must be in the same chapter, but not necessarily in the same verse.) Also in this release are many bug fixes, especially in the passage lookup syntax, and a revised user guide.
Bible SuperSearch website has been updated to a simpler, cleaner format. More changes are coming in the future. Please let me know what you think of the new format.

Many of you have had trouble installing Bible SuperSearch with the installer, and trying to find the non-existent “PHPMyAdmin” Installation instructions. Since Bible SuperSearch 1.5, the PHPMyAdmin instructions have been omitted because it was felt that they were no longer needed. However, several emails have proven this decision wrong. Below is the PHPMyAdmin instructions, modified for Bible SuperSearch 1.5+. A more polished up copy will be included in the next release. Bible SuperSearch Installation Using PHPMyAdmin Recommended for advanced users only, or if using the installer fails. *Installing Bible SuperSearch from CD-ROM* Copy all files from the “bible” folder on the Bible SuperSearch CD-ROM to a folder of your choice on your hard drive, preferably where you keep your other website files.

Bible SuperSearch 1.6.30 has been released. Many more Bible modules available. While this is only a minor update to the program itself, it includes support for the new Bible modules. Bible modules include: Authorized King James Version Reina Valera 1602 (Spanish) Reina Valera 1909 (Spanish) Sagradas Escrituras 1569 (Spanish) Luther 1545 (German) Martin 1744 (French) La Bible de l’Épée (2005) (French) Diodati 1649 (Italian) Synodal 1876 (Russian) Cornilescu (Romanian) Smith Van Dyke (Arabic) Karoli (Hungarian) Staten Vertaling (Dutch) Most of these do NOT require upgrading to this release, except for the Arabic and Russian translations. However, it is highly recommended, since even the four old modules have been improved, and the KJV module was completely recompiled from a better source. Other changes to the software include: New Module creator tool that allows you to easily make modules from your own SQL database Bibles Bible list organizer tool lets you easily determine the order Bible versions appear in the selection menu. Several other tweaks on the manager and bug fixes.
Additional Bible modules are under development, and will be released soon. These Bibles have been verified to agree with the KJV in MOST of these verses: 1 John 5:7, Isaiah 14:12, Mark 1:2, and Acts 8:37. Bibles in the following languages will be offered: Greek (Textus Receptus) French Italian Dutch Finnish Russian Arabic Romanian Czech Afrikaans Thai German (1 additional) Spanish (2 additional)
