New World Island - Bible Study
For those who haven't seen it already on Bruce's blog, David Earle, who runs the New World Island Romantic Christian blog aggregator, has a very clean, easy-to-use searchable Bible and Book of Mormon (King James Version and current LDS edition, respectively). This is extremely helpful, since there aren't really a lot of sites that let you search both books simultaneously, other than the official CJCLDS website, whose search function is terrible. Your work is much appreciated, David.

Thanks William, glad you're finding it to be useful!
You can now search for multiple words/phrases by adding a plus (+) symbol to the query:

I've also added pagination so that you can view all search results now.
Thanks, David. You're a mensch.
One more request: Is it possible to have search results sorted according to the order in which they appear in the Bible/BoM (i.e., Genesis first, then Exodus, etc.)? Currently, it appears to sort the books alphabetically (1 Chronicles, then 1 Corinthians, etc.).
Yes that's a good idea. I went ahead and made the change. If you think of anything else, I will check back here.
There are many more search customizations I could add, which I may at some point, but my main intention is to keep everything as simple and lite as possible right now. Maybe a little "advanced search" dropdown...
David, nice tool! I wonder if it's on your roadmap to include the early versions of the BOM? I would find that very useful although there may not be others that would care that much.
Thank you Leo. Perhaps other editions and translations of scripture in the future, but I'm quite happy with where it's at now - this is what I've been wanting for some time - so I'll probably take a break for a while
David, today I searched for “ants” (looking for the verse in Proverbs) and got hundreds of irrelevant results for “servants,” “covenants,” etc. When I put the search prompt in quotation marks, I got no results at all.
Maybe you tried while I was making changes. It works for me:

The issue appears to be smart quotes vs. ascii quotes.
I think I fixed it. I also added D&C and Pearl of Great Price scriptures...
It’s working now, thanks, and adding D&C and PoGP makes it even more useful.
