Understanding Expansions
Each time that you expand a
search, similar words are added to
your search and more matches are
found.
The first time that you press
MORE
, inflections are added (e.g.,
believe
and
believed
to
belief
).
The second time that you press
MORE
, compound and related
words are added (e.g.,
believer
and
unbelief
to
belief
).
The third time that you press
MORE
, synonyms are added (e.g.,
understand
and
surely
to
belief
).
When you search for a phrase,
words similar to any or all your
search words are found.
Sometimes pressing
MORE
only
once does not expand a search be-
cause your search word(s) have no
inflections in this Bible. In that case,
press
MORE
a second and a third
time to expand your search.
