Smarter and Faster Bible Searching
In my church, the pastor does not provide a list of scriptures ahead of time to the person running the projector/computer. Instead, the church service is dynamic and the person running the projector must try and keep up with the scriptures as they are "coming out of the fire hose" so to speak. Sometimes scriptures are mentioned during the preaching by book/chapter/verse (e.g. "Let's turn in our Bibles to Hebrews 12:1") and sometimes scriptures are mentioned by reference to content (e.g. "the Apostle Paul wrote 'Let us lay aside every weight'").
In the current version of the software (v2.4.6), "Quick" Bible searches must be done by choosing to find either a "Scripture Reference" or a "Text Search" by carefully clicking a tiny little down arrow to bring up the search type menu. The hands must then move from the mouse to the keyboard to type the search string. Assuming the search hit the desired content, one's hands must come off of the keyboard and back to the mouse in order to select to send the found content to the live projection. Moving between the keyboard and the mouse is slow. Switching between "Scripture Reference" and "Text Search" is slow. I covet earnestly a smarter search mechanism; and yet I shew unto you a more excellent way. :-) Behold the new "Smart Search":
