Hello,
Is there any way to do a search/replace on only whole word results, and not partial ones? For example, what if I want to return "Israel" but not "Israelites"? Is there a trick for this or is that functionality not available with Bibledit?

Thanks!
Benjamin Bruce

Hello,

Yes, there is a way to do that. 

It works via Advanced Search, and it is a two-step action.

1. First search for "Israel".
2. Search for "Israelites" and tick this option:
What to do with the search results:
* Remove them from the ones already on the page

But that only works for Search and not Replace, correct?
