NEW Search Method Implemented


Glad to report, and thankful to Hashem, that I've added a new search method to the original 5.

This 6th method, called "equally-spaced embedded text", takes your character input and searches across the range of scripture you specified (Start and End parameters on the Home Page), reporting all places this string is found evenly spread out, using the skip factor 100 as the maximum characters to skip over.

For now the only option is to choose one of two skip ranges. A future option might be SameOrder/AnyOrder. Another option would be to allow for a greater skip factor.

Unlike the other 5 searches, this search often suffers a significant latency. But I did manage to decimate the response time from an earlier version (which I never posted).

Please do report a bug if you catch one!

Come to think of it, inasmuch as this program is driven by javascript, it's all happening at the user's browser platform, and not on a remote server's, which ought therefore to enhance its steady performance - I would think.
