Search Panel Options

Print Friendly and PDF

You can control the behavior and appearance of your search by using a combination of modifiers at the top right of the Search Panel itself and options within the Search Panel menu.

 

Search Panel Modifiers

There are three modifiers on the search panel itself (although not in all search options):

  • Match Case @Mention icon: Makes your search case-sensitive, requiring search results to match the capitalization of your search query.
  • Match All Word Forms A icon: Includes results of all forms of your search term in the search results. For example, results for a search for love would include loved, lovely, loving, etc.
  • Match equivalent references: There are three options for this:

    • Narrow A icon will only use exactly what you specify in your search term.
    • Default A icon will include results where different datatypes have values of the same name. For example, in a Narrow Bible search, searches for event:Creation or topic:Creation yield different results. Selecting Default combines the results of these searches. And, for another example, a Narrow Bible search for a verse will return all cross-references to that verse while a Default Bible search will return those results and the actual verse itself.
    • Broad A icon adds additional terms with related values such as thing:Animal.

Text Size slider

Change the default text size within the Search Panel. by dragging the slider.

 

Link Sets

You can link a search panel to any link set and any clicked word in a resource with the same link set will automatically run a search in your search panel. For instance, you can link a search panel and a Bible with reverse-interlinear functionality (e.g., ESV). As you click words or phrases in the Bible, the search panel will conduct searches for your currently displayed search tab.

To clear the current link set, select None or select Clear All Links to remove all links from the panel.
