Search for Root Words (Stemming)
Posted: Fri Feb 13, 2026 2:35 pm
When I tried this simple search for "faith" to include "Root Words (Stemming)", this error message came up.
In addition, the help menu does not contain a section on the correct way to use "Root Words (Stemming) in the Advanced Bible Search tab. I see that there is something about Stemming in the Related Search tab, but I'm not using the Related Search tab.
If I do the search with nothing checked at all, I get forms like "faithful", "faithfulness", "faithfully", etc., but the search does not match "unfaithful" (Psa 78:57 and Prov 25:19).
Can you tell me what's wrong with checking the "Root Words" checkbox in the "Advanced Bible Search" tab? In addition, can the help documentation for "Advanced Bible Search" be updated to include the "Root Words" checkbox? Thanks in advance.
