God in italics

Hi Gary,

Didn't check for italics, but the results were

God 4103 matches in 3574 verses
Lord 1145 matches in 1079 verses

Under Search Menu, Search Bible Text... Specify word, in this case God and in a second search, Lord
Check match case and search All the Bible (Genesis to Revelation), click Do Search.

Hope this helps.

This can be done with a RegEx search.

Go to Search menu, Search Bible, select the RegEx tab. Use this search:

\[[^]]*\b(god|lord)\b[^]]*\]

And choose Place italics in [brackets] and keep bracket characters.

That expression means:

Code: 
\[[^]]*\b(god|lord)\b[^]]*\]
----------------------------

\[[^]]*\b(god|lord)\b[^]]*\]

Options: Case insensitive; Exact spacing; Dot doesn’t match line breaks; ^$ don’t match at line breaks; Numbered capture; Greedy quantifiers; Allow zero-length matches

Match the character “[” literally «\[»
Match any character that is NOT a “]” «[^]]*»
   Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy) «*»
Assert position at a word boundary (position preceded or followed—but not both—by a letter, digit, or underscore in the active code page) «\b»
Match the regex below and capture its match into backreference number 1 «(god|lord)»
   Match this alternative (attempting the next alternative only if this one fails) «god»
      Match the character string “god” literally (case insensitive) «god»
   Or match this alternative (the entire group fails if this one fails to match) «lord»
      Match the character string “lord” literally (case insensitive) «lord»
Assert position at a word boundary (position preceded or followed—but not both—by a letter, digit, or underscore in the active code page) «\b»
Match any character that is NOT a “]” «[^]]*»
   Between zero and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy) «*»
Match the character “]” literally «\]»

Interesting. However, if there were no results you'd get a message saying so. The results are being loaded, somewhere. You're using an extremely old version of SwordSearcher, though, and there could be a bug that was fixed a long time ago that is preventing your search results from becoming visible. As a quick check you might try resetting your layout on the View menu (after the search), but I'd recommend (at least) upgrading the software to 8.4 (which you can do for free here: https://www.swordsearcher.com/upgrade.html )
