Is Bible SuperSearch a link to your website? I've seen many web Bible searches that let you link to them.
No. Bible SuperSearch runs entirely (100%)* on your website. It does not link or redirect your searches to any Alive in Christ website or any other website. It runs 100% on your website.
* (In the future, a webservice may be offered for ease of installation. This would link to our site transparently, and users would see only your site.)

What is Bible SuperSearch?
Bible SuperSearch is a Bible search and passage look up tool designed to run on a website. It is written in HTML, PHP, and CSS (with a little JavaScript), and is powered my a MySQL backend.
Please note: Bible SuperSearch does NOT run on a regular computer; it is designed for a website and needs a web server to run.

Why do you only offer Textus Receptus based Bibles?
We believe the Textus Receptus/Byzantine text to be the preserved Word of God. The majority (95%) of New Testament manuscripts agree with the Textus Receptus. However, most modern Bibles are based on only 5% of the manuscripts, making them incomplete at the least.
For more information on the Bible manuscript text issue, please see

Will Bible SuperSearch ever support the Apocrypha?
Due to the Preserved Word Ministries statement of beliefs, we will never offer the Apocrypha with any of our software. However, this does not prevent you modifying the scripts and distributing it with support for the Apocrypha.
TopI have X Bible version with the proper licensing for it. How do I use it with Bible SuperSearch?
We will be releasing a package of developer's tools soon that will allow you to import any text Bible into Bible SuperSearch.
Also, if you need help importing a Bible, you can have us produce the modules at a per hour rate. Contact us for details.

I have PHP 3.x. Can I run Bible SuperSearch?
Sorry, you need to upgrade your PHP to run Bible SuperSearch.
TopMy web hosting account has PHP, but no MySQL. Is there a Bible SuperSearch for me?
Eventually, if there is enough demand, we may begin a concurrent project, Bible SuperSearch Webservice, which will allow you to run Bible SuperSearch in it's entirety without having MySQL database support. However, it will (transparently) link back to our databases, and there may be a small monthly charge for this service.
TopI don't have either PHP or MySQL on my hosting account? What can I do?
Unfortunatly, Bible SuperSearch will not run without PHP. But you can link to us. Means of doing so will be released in the future.
Also, we will soon be releasing our first HTML Bible, which will be a Bible formatted in HTML for use on a website. Your visitors won't be able to search the Bible, but at least they will be able to browse it.

I'm having trouble installing Bible SuperSearch. The installer keeps asking me to log in, or I keep getting a MySQL error.
First, you should upgrade to the current version (>=2.1.00). This version includes significant updates to the installer that should eliminate many of it's reported problems. Second, you should make sure you are using a valid MySQL username and password. Consult with your webhost to verify your username/password.
TopWhat is Bible SuperSearch Pro? When will this be released?
Bible SuperSearch Pro will be an advanced commercial edition of Bible SuperSearch. It will have many features not available in the standard version, including more and better interfaces. Many features have yet to be determined. These features will be developed as needed for the Bible Series, and therefore the date of any release is yet unknown.
