Understanding Expansions

Each time that you expand a search, similar words are added to your search and more matches are found.

The first time that you press

MORE , inflections are added (e.g., believe and believed to belief).

The second time that you press MORE , compound and related words are added (e.g., believer and unbelief to belief).

The third time that you press

MORE , synonyms are added (e.g., understand and surely to belief).

When you search for a phrase, words similar to any or all your search words are found.

Sometimes pressing MORE only once does not expand a search be- cause your search word(s) have no inflections in this Bible. In that case, press MORE a second and a third time to expand your search.

Whenever you see a after a word, that word has a footnote. Try this ex- ample.
