History edit

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.[2]

A port to the Mac OS was started [3] but was later canceled.[4]

A SwordSearcher module compiler, called Forge, is available.

Reviews and awards edit

In 2007, 2008, and 2009, SwordSearcher was awarded the Shareware Industry Awards People's Choice for Best Hobby or Personal Interest software.[5]

It is one of About.com's top 10 bible programs.[6]
