What is Range Search?
This feature allows you to limit search results to specific books, chapters, verses and/or pages. For example, you can search for instances in which the word "light" appears in the Bible, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, and the Christian Science Hymnal. Similarly, you could look for instances in which the word "joy" appears in Mary Baker Eddy's Miscellaneous Writings and chapters 1-5 of the book of John in the Bible.
