History

SwordSearcher was originally written for DOS in 1994 by Brandon Staggs under the name Bible Assistant. When Windows 95 was released, version 3 was released as a Windows program called SwordSearcher 95 and was apparently the first 32 bit Windows Bible Software available.[1]

A port to the Mac OS was started [2] but was later canceled.[3]

A SwordSearcher module compiler, called Forge, is available.

Reviews and awards

In 2007, 2008, and 2009, SwordSearcher was awarded the Shareware Industry Awards People's Choice for Best Hobby or Personal Interest software.[4]

It is one of About.com's top 10 bible programs.[5]

gollark: Nim fairly okay, if we're arbitrarily saying things?!
gollark: But it sort of shows the quality, if incorrectly.
gollark: Well, yes, actually it compiles fine and the plugin is wrong.
gollark: However, YOU are like the osmarks.tk™ secondary server.
gollark: You can see how great my code quality is due to all the red lines on the side.
