Short of some really really terrible real language parsing and detecting
and understanding how the verse is split up, I don't see how we can do
this.

The only possible way is if we had sub-verses in our Bibles. Unlikely to
happen.

Title:
  Support partial verses in Bible advanced search

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Occasionally Bible passages can start or end part way through the
  verse. Currently it isn't possible to specify this when searching for
  Scripture.

  Therefore I propose adding a new feature to the 'Advanced' Bible search. If the user specifies a letter after the Verse number, then that letter will indicate how many verse separators in (fullstops/semicolons/?/!/etc) to start or stop. 'a' would be the first, 'b' the second etc.
  For 'from' verses, it would start at this point. For 'to' verses it would end at this point.

  Examples:
  John 3:29-30
  29 The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. 30 He must become greater; I must become less.”

  John3:29a-30a
  The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. 30 He must become greater;

  John 3:29-29a
  The bride belongs to the bridegroom.

  John 3:29a-29b
  The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice.

  John 3:29b-29
  That joy is mine, and it is now complete.
