programs require

type, a drop list
will appear with all
possible next
matching words in the entire King James text. The list will automatically navigate
to the word as you type, or you can use your up/down arrow keys or mouse to
scroll to the desired word and select it.
Like many spelling checkers, the text in the editor will appear in a “strikeout”
red-underline font if it doesn’t match, as seen in the illustration above. The
occurrence statistics for that specific Search Phrase will also reflect this. In the
above example, you see “Number of Occurrences: 0/0/0”. This means that there

being searched, since you don’t have a completely matching word or phrase yet.
The significance of why there are three counts showing '0' will be explained in
detail as we work through the explanation of this search.
