Defined in: Services/SearchQueryParser.ts:23

Search Query Parser

Parses search queries with complex syntax including:

  • Phrase search: "exact phrase"
  • Word proximity search: word1 word2 ~50w or word1 word2 ~50
  • Verse proximity search: word1 word2 ~5v
  • Boolean operators: AND, OR, NOT with parentheses
  • Fuzzy search: ~word
  • Regex search: /pattern/ (advanced only)
  • Strong's numbers: G26, H430

Example complex query: "greatest of these" hope love ~50w NOT (peace AND despair)

This finds verses containing:

  • The exact phrase "greatest of these"
  • "hope" and "love" within 50 words of each other
  • NOT containing both "peace" AND "despair"
