Website Search Tips

  • Attach an asterisk (*) to the end of a word as a wildcard. (You may not use wildcards at the beginning of a word or in the middle of a word.) For example, a search for jes* will return results including words like "Jesus," "Jessie," and "Jesuit." Do not leave a space between the asterisk and the word.
  • Attach a tilde (~) to the front of a word to omit results containing that word. For example, a search for ~jesus messiah will return results including the word "messiah," but only if those results do not include the word "Jesus." Do not leave a space between the tilde and the word to be omitted.
  • You may use both an asterisk (*) and a tilde (~) on the same word.
  • You may use multiple words with asterisks (*) and/or tildes (~).
  • Words with asterisks (*) and/or tildes (~) may appear anywhere in your search phrase.
  • Include Bible chapter numbers but not verse numbers.
  • Don't use Roman numerals.
