    Barnes' Notes on the Bible - error?

    Sure, that looks like an OCR error to me. Do you have a question about this?

    Default bible selection

    SwordSearcher will restore with the same tabs selected (active) as when you closed the program, except for the case when you open a tab that is not on your visible tabs list from the Tabs menu. Go to the Tabs menu and choose "Select Which Tabs to Show." Make sure the tabs you want to have...

    Book window

    Which book entry in a dictionary is the one you would expect to open for Jonah 1:17? Keep in mind, you're talking about potentially dozens of relevant entries. Which one would you want opened when you click the tab? How could it know? You just need to use the tools designed for verse-based...

    Book window

    The tab corresponding color is for books that have an entry of the same title, such as dictionaries that all have an entry titled "Aaron." It's not verse-based. For both books and commentaries, that color is a signal that says "I have something on this, too."

    Guide to Running SwordSearcher on Linux Operating Systems (Updated June 2024)

    SwordSearcher 10 uses Segoe UI Symbol and Segoe UI Emoji for those. Try to confirm you have those fonts available in the wine profile.

    Memory usage

    Why? Why have RAM that doesn't get used? Why force the application to re-initialized and re-calculate everything that was loaded into RAM every time you switch back to it? The OS knows when it needs to reclaim the memory for other apps; I just let it do its job. The Natural Language Search...

    Memory usage

    500MB really isn't much on a modern system. I've got apps sitting idle right now eating 1.5GB. SwordSearcher loads and keeps a fair amount of data "warm" in memory as you use it (Bible text, indexes, modules you've opened, search caches, etc.) so it can respond instantly instead of hitting the...

    Included John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible [Gill] [Deluxe]

    I already emailed you a replacement, to both of your email addresses, as you requested earlier. You've already upgraded. Your logs show that you have put multiple copies of your modules: One into your program files location, which you should not do, and so the second copies in your user...

    Reinstalling

    The Gill commentary is part of the full SwordSearcher installation. If you install the full version you'll have it. Just go to the TABS menu and choose "Select which tabs to show." You should check your spam folder in case your download links were incorrectly classified as spam.

    Taking a PDF and making a user module

    Copy and paste into user module entries. This is what most people do. It's straightforward once you create a module: https://www.swordsearcher.com/video/user-modules.htm Another option is to use some other tool to convert your PDF to a more usable format (text or HTML, etc). If you know your...

    SwordSearcher Shortcuts Saving Searches For Bible Study

    I think one important thing to consider is that you cannot reproduce an exact search result with a SwordSearcher URL. It's not designed to convey enough information for that. There are some link builders in the user editor under the Insert menu -- personally I would recommend sticking to what's...
