Android: Bible Search
The search feature within the Bible tab easily gives you full-text search to find and discover a range of Bible texts and related videos. You can also filter your searches based on language/version, testament, and book.
- Select the Bible tab if it has not been selected already.
- Top right: select 🔍.
- Begin typing what you’re looking for.
- Finish typing exactly what you want, then select 🔍 on the keyboard. You can select the resulting content to read the full text or chapter.
Filter Search
- Use the search feature to find a Bible text reference, keyword/phrase, or topic.
- Ex: search “1 Peter 4:1” or “faith” or “iron sharpens iron” or “faith”.
- Top right: select the filter button to filter the search results or select one of the three buttons under Bible:
- Language/Version.
- OT/NT (Old Testament, New Testament, or both).
- All Books (Search a specific book of the Bible, or search all).
Only filter options with a match will be shown (i.e. if you search “Nebuchadnezzar”, only OT will be shown. If you search for Hagar, only four books will be shown).
