The scoring of search results for "sword" is interesting, I would have thought that a verse with the word in it three times would have scored higher than a verse with it twice, but I guess that two out of fifteen is a better percentage than three out of 25.

Nothing dynamic is happening on the server yet. This is just a mock-up. A separate file contains a list of verses that can be either opened in a frame or with a JavaScript pop-up. You can view source to see how those are done. Normally I would say frames are evil and JavaScript pop-ups are even w

Could we tweak the way passagestudy displays a range of verses? I like the fact that if a user asks for one verse (Like Rom. 8:28) the entire chapter is returned with that one verse highlighted. However, if someone requests a particular range, I think it would be best to return only that range. F
