  Ideas for the Quick search
  
  The quick search might be really slow if bad search terms are used.
  For an example search “And” will take serveral minutes to complete and program becomes unresponsive.
  
  Maybe we could:

  Add search range buttons for OT / NT so you can untick OT if you want to search only NT or vice versa. Atleast one of the two boxes would have to be chosen, unticking OT while NT is unticked would tick NT automatically.
  Set a minimum length of 2 characters to prevent accidental searches.
  Prompt user if the text search includes only one short word.
  
  
  Combined scripture and text search
  
  Add combined “search scipture reference or text”
- which would first search for scripture referense and if none are found move to text search?

  Ideas for the Quick search

  The quick search might be really slow if bad search terms are used.
  For an example search “And” will take serveral minutes to complete and program becomes unresponsive.

  Set a minimum length of 2 characters to prevent accidental searches.
  Prompt user if the text search includes only one short word.

  
  Combined scripture and text search

  Add combined “search scipture reference or text”
  which would first search for scripture referense and if none are found move to text search.
  I feel this would be faster than switching between the two.
  This would also cause less confusion in case the user is not
