A review of Blue Letter Bible

http://www.blueletterbible.org/ is one of the best English Bible search engines around. I do not use all the features all of the time, but here are some pros and cons that I notice on a regular basis:

Strengths
  • Fast search times
  • Word-searches all translations simultaneously. (a rare find!)
  • Easy to use on multiple browser tabs.
  • Searches English and original languages with H/G + Strong's number.
  • Easy, full access to Greek and Hebrew lexicons. (more detailed and sophisticated than Strong's lexicon)
  • Can select a "Preferred Bible" translation to use every time you open the site from a personal computer.
Weaknesses
  • Cannot search Greek words within LXX (a Greek translation of Old Testament) - but what Bible search engine can? [The full version of Online Bible can...]
  • Word dictonaries have good potential but are not highly intuitive yet.
