  • This is your primary workspace, where you enter text, load Bible verses, and view the overall Gematria calculations and detailed numerical properties.
• Right Pane: Bible Word Search
  • Allows you to search the entire Bible for specific words or Gematria values, with various filtering options.

Let's explore each section in detail.

2. App Header

At the very top of the page, you'll find the App Header, which simply displays the title of the application:

"The World's Fastest and Most Accurate Hebrew / Greek Gematria Calculator - Bible Verse Analysis"

(Note: This refers to the header on the main calculator page, index.html.)

3. Left Pane: Word Analysis

The Word Analysis pane (on the left side) provides a granular breakdown of your input text, showing the Gematria values for each individual word.

Purpose

This section is ideal for:

• Understanding the numerical value of each component word within a phrase or verse.
• Identifying specific words that have Gematria values (or letter counts) that are multiples of 37 or 73.
• Selecting multiple words to combine their Gematria values (Combination Mode).

Table Structure

The word analysis data is presented in a table with the following columns:

• Checkbox Column (first column with a checkbox icon at the top):
  • Each row has a checkbox. Clicking a checkbox (or anywhere on the row) selects or deselects that specific word for Combination Mode.
  • The Copy Grid button (icon of two overlapping squares) in the header of this column allows you to copy the entire Word Analysis table as tab-separated values (TSV).
• Word: Displays the individual Hebrew or Greek word.
  • The Copy Word Column button (copy icon) next to "Word" copies only this column's values.
  • If a word matches a term searched in Bible Word Search, it's highlighted in yellow/gold.
• Standard: Standard Gematria value.
  • Highlighting: Multiples of 37 are red; multiples of 73 are blue.
  • The Copy Standard Column button copies this column.
• Reduced: Reduced Gematria value.
  • Highlighting: Same 37 (red) / 73 (blue) rules apply.
  • The Copy Reduced Column button copies this column.
• Ordinal: Ordinal Gematria value.
  • Highlighting: Same 37 (red) / 73 (blue) rules apply.
  • The Copy Ordinal Column button copies this column.
• #Letters: Count of letters in the word.
  • The Copy #Letters Column button copies this column.

Interactivity

5. Right Pane: Bible Word Search

Search for words, phrases, or Gematria values across the Bible.

5.1. Search Modes & Input

Three search methods are available. Clicking an input field activates its mode and clears other search inputs.

• Text (Hebrew/Greek/English) Input:
  • Single Term/Phrase Search: Enter a single word (e.g., θεος) or an exact phrase enclosed in double quotes (e.g., "εν αρχη"). The search is case-insensitive and uses the cleaned version of your input.
  • Multi-Component Search (AND logic): Combine multiple terms and/or phrases using the + symbol. All components must be found in a verse for it to be a match. For example:
    • θεος + λογος (finds verses with both "θεος" AND "λογος")
    • "εν αρχη" + ην (finds verses with the phrase "εν αρχη" AND the word "ην")
    • "εν αρχη" + "ο λογος" + ην (finds verses with both phrases AND the word)
  • Searches are performed automatically after a short delay (debounced) or when you press Enter.
• Word Values Input: Enter a numeric value. Finds individual words in the Bible whose Standard, Reduced, Ordinal Gematria, or Letter Count matches this value.
• Verse Values Input: Enter a numeric value. Finds entire verses whose total Standard, Reduced, Ordinal Gematria, or total Letter Count matches this value.

5.2. Search Summary & Filters

Below the search inputs, you'll find a summary of results and various filter checkboxes to refine your search.

• Copy Search Results button (copy icon next to "Bible Word Search"): Copies all currently displayed search results as tab-separated text.
• Verses / Matches Found:
  • For Text searches, this shows "Verses: [Number]" indicating the count of unique verses matching your query and filters.
  • For Word/Verse Value searches, this shows "Matches: [Number]" indicating the total count of matching words or verses.
• Text Search Filters (only visible for Text search mode):
  • Single Term/Phrase Search:
    • Exact: [Number] Checkbox: When checked, displays verses where your single term/phrase is an exact, whole-word/phrase match. The number indicates the total count of such exact matches across all verses.
    • Partial: [Number] Checkbox: When checked, displays verses where your single term/phrase is found as a partial match (substring) but NOT as an exact whole-word/phrase match. The number indicates the count of unique verses containing such partial-only matches.
    • At least one of these (Exact or Partial) must be checked to see results.
  • Multi-Component Search (using +):
    • Exact Filter: ON/OFF Checkbox: This checkbox (along with "Partial Filter") determines how *individual non-phrasal terms* (those not in quotes) within your multi-component query are matched.
      • If "Partial Filter" is OFF: Individual terms *must* be an exact, whole-word match.
      • If "Partial Filter" is ON AND "Exact Filter" is ON: Individual terms *must* be an exact, whole-word match.
      • If "Partial Filter" is ON AND "Exact Filter" is OFF: Individual terms *can* be a partial (substring) match.
      (Phrases in quotes are always matched exactly.)
    • Partial Filter: ON/OFF Checkbox: Works in conjunction with "Exact Filter" as described above for individual terms in a multi-component search.
    • For multi-component searches, verses are included only if *all* components (phrases and terms) are found according to these filter rules. The checkboxes do not further filter the *overall result set* for multi-component matches but rather define how the match was made.
• General Filters (apply to all search modes):
  • Show English Checkbox: Toggles the display of the English translation alongside the original text in the search results and in the main calculator's "Cleaned Text Display" area when a verse is loaded.
  • Show OT / Show NT Checkboxes: Filter results to include only verses from the Old Testament (OT) or New Testament (NT). At least one must be checked.
• Value Counts & Filters (only visible for Word/Verse Values search modes):
  • Displays counts of matches for each Gematria type: Std: [Number], Red: [Number], Ord: [Number], #Ltrs: [Number]. The Total: [Number] shows the sum of these counts.
  • Each Gematria type has an associated checkbox (e.g., Show Std). Unchecking a box will hide results that matched only on that Gematria type. At least one Gematria type checkbox must be checked to see results.

5.3. Search Results List

A scrollable area below the filters displays the search results.

• Result Item Structure: Each item typically shows:
  • Verse Reference: (e.g., Genesis 1:1) Highlighted in gold.
  • Original Text: The Hebrew or Greek text of the verse. For Text searches, matching terms/phrases are highlighted.
  • English Translation: (If "Show English" is checked) The English translation of the verse, with Text search matches also highlighted.
  • Word/Verse Values: (For Value searches) Shows the specific Gematria values of the matched word or verse, with the value that triggered the match highlighted.
• Interactivity:
  • Clicking a Result Item: Loads the corresponding verse into the Center Pane's input field. If the search was a Text or Word Value search, the relevant word(s) or phrase(s) will be highlighted in the Center Pane's "Cleaned Text Display" and in the "Word Analysis" grid.
  • Copy This Result button (copy icon, appears on hover over a result item): Copies the text content of that single search result to your clipboard.
• Scrolling: Results are loaded in batches as you scroll down, allowing for efficient display of many results.
