An issue preventing the Bible tester from working has been resolved in the latest release. This release is only available as a patch. This issue resulted in the tester giving a false negative for every test, even when the Bibles are installed properly and the Bible search is working. Download Patch 2.0.71 if this is an issue for you. (If the Bible search is working properly, you don’t need to apply this patch.)
A new version of Bible SuperSearch has been released. 2.0.70 includes a completely new, much faster proximity search algorithm. Also added as an extension of the proximity search is the capability to search for all words, within a chapter. (All words must be in the same chapter, but not necessarily in the same verse.) Also in this release are many bug fixes, especially in the passage lookup syntax, and a revised user guide.
Bible SuperSearch website has been updated to a simpler, cleaner format. More changes are coming in the future. Please let me know what you think of the new format.

Many of you have had trouble installing Bible SuperSearch with the installer, and trying to find the non-existent “PHPMyAdmin” Installation instructions. Since Bible SuperSearch 1.5, the PHPMyAdmin instructions have been omitted because it was felt that they were no longer needed. However, several emails have proven this decision wrong. Below is the PHPMyAdmin instructions, modified for Bible SuperSearch 1.5+. A more polished up copy will be included in the next release.
