Sermonindex Search Engine

Have you discovered the power of the search engine yet? This site is rich in its variety in a way which makes it different to many other sites which specialise in a particular 'school of interpretation'. Here you can find biblical balance from the wide spectrum of Christian viewpoint.If you would like to hear the balance try using the 'search engine' to be found on the 'home' page. Enter a topic (without the quotation marks) "Faith", "Baptism", "Sin", "Prayer", "Repentance", "Peter", "Noah", "Regeneration".. the list is endless. Then hit FIND and stand back to see the wealth of this site. (You can even use it to find topics from Bible books; try "Judges" or "Psalms")If you would like to hear more in messages, forum contributions or whatever choose "show all results" in that a specific section.Now take a while and listen or read a balanced diet of contributions. It will provide a 'wide angle' lens for your own viewpoint and demonstrate that what Paul said is true of every preacher... "we know in part".Isn't this a great site?

Hi philologos,Excelent post! The things you learn....I have to admit somewhat sheepishly, ahem, considering I am a 'moderator' here, that this was something I had never checked out before.This site is rich in its variety in a way which makes it different to many other sites which specialise in a particular 'school of interpretation'. Here you can find biblical balance from the wide spectrum of Christian viewpointI could not agree more and believe that many here would say 'amen'!Isn't this a great site?Yes! And one of the reasons is that we get contributions like these! Thanks!_/crsschk\\_

Have you discovered the power of the search engine yet? I would recommend everyone try using the search engine, it works really well and I thought it would be good to re-hash this topic just to bring it back to peoples attention.

Do you struggle to keep a track of those threads that break up into sub-threads and move from area to area on the forum?In the past I have spent quite a time trying to retrace previous debates and comments. Why didn't I think of using the search engine?Choose 'Home' and from the top of the page 'Advanced Search' by the side of the search field. Then check the 'forum' option. Go on, try some obscure word that has lodged in the recesses of your mind... You ought to be able to find the thread in the forums and if necessary return to the debate. Great tool, that search engine.

Great tool, that search engine.Yes you are soo right Ron, I use the search engine all the time to find things. If you are really wanting to find something in the forums and the front page search engine isnt working. Then Click on the 'forums' link and go down to the bottom of the page. On the right hand side you should see a search box, click on the 'Advanced Search' link below it. Then you should see this:As you notice from the image there are many more options to search within the forums with this tool. here is the direct link to it:Forum Advanced Search

Another little neat trick.. wondering if there are videos of preachers on SermonIndex.net but don't want to sift through the 3000+ audio sermons. Just type in "video" into the search box on the homepage and it will find every video on the site. :-D

Coincidence?I received the following communication yesteday:"GOOGLE'S SEARCH ENGINE HAS BEEN ADDED TO AUSTIN-SPARKS.NET on the Enter page. "For those who are unfamiliar with web search engines, you can enter a word, phrase or Scripture reference into the box and click on Google Search and it will bring up a new window with all the occurrences in articles or books on the Austin-Sparks.Net website of the text you entered. You can then click on the title given if you wish to read it. This will be particularly useful for finding writings which include a specific Scripture reference or topic; the more specific you can be in the topic or phrase you enter into the search engine, the better and more specific the search results will be."We encourage you to forward, print and share this message with others.

I find my icons "showing where I have visited" behave a little eratically. What do I do it I don't have time to work my way through all the forums but want to see the stuff that is hot from the press?1. Search engine to the rescue.2. I click forum on the left hand side of this page3. I scroll to the bottom of the page and on the right hand side is the search engine with an option for Advanced Search.4. Click Advanced Search.5. Don't enter any search date but just click "Search".You now have all the postings date order with all the newest stuff at the top. Handy eh?

Thanks Ron!Very helpful.Funny, I just this morning 'discovered' the "sort by date" arrows in the download section to find the most recent additions...and I have been here how long? Will chalk it up to slow brain cell regeneration or maybe a Homer Simpson like "Doh!"Sensing a bit of that Canadanian influence in your inflection, Eh? ;-)
