Looking up the same information in a concordance would take hours. Just below the verse list on the far left, it also tabulates the results: 1209 verses, 130 forms, 1342 hits. Again, BibleWorks 9 performs the search almost instantaneously, and it gives every use of every word from the dik– word group in both the Old and New Testaments. The following command will give me every word that begins with dik: “.dik*”. There are countless searches that are possible just by typing in the command line near the upper left hand of the BibleWorks window. Every use of that word in the Greek Old and New Testaments appear almost instantly. All I have to do is right click on the word and select “search on lemma” from the pop-up menu. So for example, let’s say I’m reading Romans 12:1 in BibleWorks and want to do a simple search of every use of the Greek word metamorpho? (“transform”). In the Greek and Hebrew texts, however, BW9 allows users not only to search for individual words but also morphologically complex constructions. All of the texts (English, Greek, Hebrew, German) are searchable in BibleWorks 9. The search engine in BibleWorks 9 is powerful and fast. Today, I continue that review with a focus on searching in BibleWorks 9. A while back, I began a review of BibleWorks 9, one of the premier Bible software packages available for PC’s.
