\ \ \ \ "; if (nn4) _cmt+="This concordance is a link to the excellent \ kjvbible.net site; \ it supplies that site with the requested search data. \ A separate browser window or tab opens to display the results of the search; \ that window can be left open for independent use as desired.
\INSTRUCTIONS AND CAVEATS
\1 The concordance finds and displays \ every verse containing any specified word or phrase, like “firmament” \ or “ngd” or “kingdom of God.” It also \ displays any verse specified by its citation, like “Genesis \ 11:3” or “Gen 11:3.”
\2 The search is not \ case sensitive, and it displays the specified word or phrase as typed: \ specifying “NGD” finds “kingdom.” and displays \ “kiNGDom.”
\3 The search can encompass the entire Bible, \ or it can be restricted to the Old Testament or to the New Testament.
\4 The name of the last book of the Bible is \ misspelled: the correct spelling is “Revelation.”
\5 The "+KJV+" that the concordance uses omits the hyphens \ from hyphenated proper names like “Maher-shalal-hash-baz.”
\6 The search phrase cannot combine italicised and \ upright words: searching for “money answereth all” \ correctly finds “money answereth all things” in Eccl. 10:19, whereas specifying \ “money answereth all things” returns no result.
\7 Editions of the "+KJV+" since 1769 use apostrophes in \ possessive pronouns: “your’s,” “their’s.” \ The concordance "+KJV+" follows contemporary usage to omit the apostrophes.
\8 The 1769 edition of the "+KJV+" changed \ “flotes” to “floats” in \ 1 Kings 5:9 but left it unchanged in 2 Chronicles 2:16. \ The concordance "+KJV+" has “floats” in both places.
\9 The Latin diphthongs \ æ (“Judæa,” “Cæsarea”) and Æ \ (“Ænon,” “Æneas”) occur in the "+KJV +" to translate the Greek diphthong ai. \ The concordance "+KJV+" respectively substitutes “ae” \ and “AE.”
