Libronix contains a Find feature allowing you to perform a simple word search on any open window including automated reports and the documents you create.

From left to right, Windows numbers the position of the windows 1, 2, 3. Click on a window. This is the active window. Tile them vertically, noticing the active window goes to the first position. The window that was active before the active window goes to the second position and so on. In light of that you must click on the windows in the inverted order that you want them. Click on the window you want in position 3. Next, click on the one you want in position 2. Now click on the one you in position 1. Tile the windows vertically and they'll be in the "right" order!

Now rest your cursor on a "hot" Bible reference to see the passage in a pop up window.
When you execute a search on a word like bless you'll also receive hits on the various forms of the word like blessed, blessing and blessings. This feature is called stemming. If you just want to locate a word without the forms you must type nostem and then your word in parenthesis. For example, to find just the word bless, type this in the search box: nostem(bless).
