Finding a Heading in your Bible using Search

\\ \\

!! What do you mean by finding a *Heading*?

* Can't remember the book or passage reference to what you are looking for?

*InaBibleorCommentary,youcan't remember the/bible/ book or thepassage reference to what you are looking for?

* You can use *Search* to search for that word. But you might have to sort through many scripture hits.

* In other resources, you are looking for an article...

* But you thinkyou remember a word thatmightbein one of the *Headings*... (e.g. see image below) \\ \\ {{$ media:FindingHeading1a.png }} \\ \\

* But you can remember a word in one of the *Headings* (orbible/Pericopes/)... see image below: \\ \\ {{$ media:FindingHeading1a.png }} \\ \\

* Did you know that you can search just through  the headings/pericopes in most Bibles?

* For Bibles in *Logos 8+*, you can actually type the *word* in the /Reference box/ and it will list the relevant pericopes!

* Well this is possible. And often returns fewer hits and can help you find your passage faster.

* *Fuzzy Bible Search* may help you find the *words* in a phrase, but it can return a lot of /erroneous/ hits.

* Keep reading...

* Otherwise, you can /Search/ just the *Headings*/pericopes in most resources, and it will return more relevant hits.
