I think it would be nice if, after doing a bible search, we could copy the verses with the search criteria highlighted just as it appears in the resulting verse list.

This would allow one to paste them into user book or Word doc with the search highlighted instead of pasting them as bare text.

Psalm 2:7 (KJV) ¶ I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

Psalm 3:6 (KJV) I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

Psalm 4:8 (KJV) I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

Psalm 5:7 (KJV) ¶ But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

Psalm 7:17 (KJV) I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

Psalm 9:1 (KJV) ¶ To the chief Musician upon Muth-labben, A Psalm of David. I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
 
It works, as I just tested this. Both with MS Word and SwordSearcher book paste. I manually highlihght the sctriptures I wanted from the search window. Then from there it did as you are talking about. Right click copy paste or Ctrl-V or right click paste (not Paste as Plain Text) both Word and Book module worked.
Glad I signed on today, very useful.
My search results are very different than yours. "I will" Not sure why?

Oh, I see the difference.

When you manually select the results and right click there's an option to "Copy Selected Text" as well as an option to "Copy Selected Text Including Highlighting".

If you don't manually select the results and right click there's an option to "Copy All Verses from Verse List" but there isn't an option to "Copy All Verses from Verse List Including Highlighting"

It would be handy if you did not have to manually highlight then select, especially if you have hundreds of results because then you have to repeat the task for every set of 100 results. Brandon may find it reasonable and feasible to add an option to "Copy All Verses from Verse List Including Highlighting" in a future release.

Thank you for pointing out the "Copy Selected Text Including Highlighting" approach. I never even thought to highlight then copy from the verse list, I simply right clicked in the results window and used the options available.

I agree. That would be handy.
 
Thank you for making it even more understandable through your comment.
Great option while building sermons and lessons.
 
Also if you use the "Search Bible with additional options" F2 key, choose Custom from here (almost) anything you desire I believe.
Choose "Manually enter search range" Alt+M
Keep in mind the ("search criteria if it has been changed by user or default").
Again this shows sthe depth of the SwordSearcher Software developer and the power of the program.
"I will" search in Psalms from chapter 2-9 only.
Example Search:

Search Item - I will
Enter a custom range or list of ranges - Ps 2-8

SS is so powerfully integrated, intuitive and offers so many options (searches included) and it's one of the things I love about the program.
