Words you type will be the starting terms used to explore translations. These can be any combination of the following:
▶ What are Special Terms and how do I enter them?
▶ What if I don’t know the exact word used in the translation text?
▶ If I enter many words (as in a phrase), which words will be searched upon?
▶ How do I see the verses that match my query?
▶ How do I choose whose translation I want to see?
▶ How do I explore or look for similar verses?
