Bible SuperSearch 1.6.00 has been released. In the spirit of “release early, release often,” this new mini-release is the next step towards Bible SuperSearch 2.0 (planned release date: Late Summer 2007). This release introduces paginated search results. Previously, all results were displayed on the same page. Now, only 20 per page are displayed. The option of showing all results at once is maintained, however. Also, better text formatting was also introduced. Users can toggle between this formatting, and “EZ-Copy,” which formats the text in a way that is easy to copy and paste into word processor documents, for example. A future release will have additional text formatting options, such as text size and font style, and parallel Bible version searches. Stay tuned…
I have just posted a new page for “examples” of Bible SuperSearch installations. This gives others a perspective of how the script could look on their websites. If you have installed Bible SuperSearch on your website, please add yourself to this list. This is especially important if you have made major changes to it to incorporate into your website. This way, others will see how they can incorporate it themselves. The examples page is at: https://www.biblesupersearch.com/examples
I am pleased to announce the release of Bible SuperSearch 1.5. Bible SuperSearch 1.5 includes a Boolean Bible search feature. This powerful feature allows you to strictly specify your search using operators AND, OR, and NOT. It also supports the use of parentheses to group search terms. I have yet to find ANY Bible search software, web-based or PC based, that offers this full Boolean search capability. Bible SuperSearch also now supports multiple Bible versions. This semi-major release has the following new features: Support for hosting multiple Bible versions, including foreign language Bibles Boolean search feature including term grouping (parentheses). Four Bible translations avaliable, including Spanish and German translations. More will come later. A new installer/manager that allows you to easily install and manage Bible SuperSearch with multiple installed Bible Versions Also, these updates have been made: Better-looking browsing buttons for browsing the Bible Requesting a book without a search will return only the first chapter Some typographical errors corrected And many more! The release is offered in two different packages, the “standard,” which has only the KJV Bible, and the “full,” which includes all four Bibles: the KJV, Reina Valera 1602, Reina Valera 1909 (both Spanish), and the (unrevised) Luther Bible (German). To download additional Bibles, please see our Source Forge site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblesuper/
I have BETA tested a Spanish TR Bible on the Bible SuperSearch website. I am using the 1602 (I think) Reina Valera translation. You may note that there are a few bugs to be worked out, most notably that the verse and chapter references are given in English. If anyone can send me text of the 1602 and other TR Spanish Bibles, it would be most appreciated. Support for this and other Texus Receptus Bibles will be included in a future release of Bible SuperSearch. A date has not been set for this release.
Bible SuperSearch, the open source, PHP and MySQL based Bible search and look up web script, has been officially released. Even in this the initial release, the script has some powerful features. It’s passage retrieval tool can look up most references, including many complex references. It’s search tool has all the features you would expect from any Bible search, including searching for ANY word, ALL words, or the exact phrase. You may also limit your search to only certain areas of the Bible, such as the Old Testament, the Prophets, or the NT Epistles. Custom search limitation is one of the most powerful features of Bible SuperSearch. By entering a passage into the “look up” box and a word into the “search” box, Bible SuperSearch will search the passage(s) you specified for the word(s) you entered.
