Thanks for the comments. The issue you are describing with the HCSB with Strong’s has been resolved. If you re-download the resource from your account, you should be able to search for a Strong’s number from within the Bible to get the concordance results.

Your desire for a better way to navigate search results is a good one. Our developers know of this issue and will be rolling out incremental improvements over the next releases of BibleReader.

In answer to your last question, yes the NASB with Strong’s also allows searches on individual Strong’s numbers.

Thanks again for your comments and for being a loyal Olive Tree user!

Interesting post. I currently own 2 Olive Tree bibles with Strong’s numbers and am using a 64GB iPad with Bible Reader. I’m wondering if all of your Strong’s bible are supposed to be searchable using the iPad?

The ESV with Strong’s is superb- cross references all seem to go where they supposed to (sadly not the case with NLT from Olive Tree) and on the Strong’s you can, indeed, search “g5368″ and get fast results. It also shows the Hebrew or Greek letters when checking a link.
On my HCSB with Strong’s however- there are not Greek or Hebrew letters shown and a search on “g5368″ will just bring up a box saying “No search results found. Don’t forget to check your search options for the search range and search method”. So Strong’s word searches are not possible on my iPad though, of course, touching linked words DOES bring up individual Strong’s definitions.
Of course, once I look up “h1732″ for David in my ESV with Strong’s, I’m immediately given 1067 occurrence in the ESVST but there is currently no quick way to scroll to references in Chronicles or King’s- just patiently flipping through the bible from the first occurrence in Ruth (99 page flips to get to 2 Samuel 11:2).
Am I missing something? If not, could a future Bible Reader update allow for fast browsing through the 1067 hits?
Does the NASB with Strong’s allow searches on individual Strong’s numbers?
Aside from these quibbles, I REALLY DO ENJOY reading the bible on the Olive Tree platform on my iPad

Yes, the blog post was written using the steps from the BibleReader 4 platforms (iOS, Blackberry, Android and Symbian 60-5). However, you can actually do the search on BibleReader 3 platforms (Palm and Windows Mobile) by just removing the starting letter (“g” or “h”). So to do the search for “phileo” on your WinMo ppc, just search for “5368″. You will however find that it will also return results for the Hebrew word with the number 5368, so specifying Old or New Testament in your search options will be helpful. Also, if you are using the KJV with Strong’s on the BibleReader 3 platforms the numbering is a bit different – most Hebrew words are 5 digits starting with a zero, so as to avoid confusion with Greek numbers.

I hope this helps!
