Referring to the picture below:

1. A selection is made in the source.
• In this case a word is selected: "light".
• The source is the NAS95S text.
2. A target is chosen. In this case, it is the KJVS text, however any text could have been chosen.
3. The selection is amplified to a new text Search tab The core tab used to search Bible texts, it consists of a search entry area and a search results area.
• If a resource Any Bible text, or other single tool that can be read in Accordance, including reference texts and articles; may also be referred to as content or module tool had been the target, a Tool tab would have opened.
• Note the word "light" was automatically entered in the Search Entry box (a).
• The "hit" words (light) are marked based on your preferences (b).

Referring to the picture below:

1. A selection is made in the source.
• In this case a word is selected: "light".
• The source is the NAS95S text.
2. A target is chosen. In this case, it is the TWOT tool, however any resource could have been chosen.
3. The selection is amplified to a new tool Search tab. For the purposes of this picture, the display was set to Paragraphs.
• If a Biblical text had been the target, a text Search tab would have opened.
• Note that the word "light" was automatically entered in the Search Entry box (a).
• Accordance automatically selected a field to search for in the TWOT, in this case English Gloss (b).
• The "hit" word (light) is marked based on your preferences, as well as the verse reference (c).

If the selection is a verse reference in a Bible text pane:

• Amplifying to a reference tool Any non-Biblical text that provides supplemental information about the text, for example, a lexicon, dictionary, or commentary or Bible text opens that module to the same verse.
• Amplifying to any other tool searches for that verse reference in the Scripture field of a tool Search tab.
• Pressing Opt+ when amplifying to a tool performs an exact search.

If the verse reference is a link, its behavior is as expected: a Text tab opens displaying the verse(s).

Note If the selection is not a linked reference, amplifying to a Biblical or non-Biblical text searches the text for the selection. If the words are not found in the text, Accordance looks for the selection as a verse reference.

If the selection is text (word or phrase) in a Bible Text or Tool text pane:

• Amplifying to any Text or Tool module results in a search using the appropriate field for that selection.
• Tools in general: Fields with the same language as the selection are searched until a "hit" is found; then all the "hits" in that field are displayed. Once "hits" are found, no more fields are searched (for example, if the search argument is found in the Entry field, the Contents are not searched).


• For most Texts and Tools Accordance searches for the selected words and phrases in the same form as in the selection. There are certain exceptions for Key numbers and grammatically tagged Greek and Hebrew texts. For example, amplifying from a word in a key text can search for the original words.


• Pressing shift while amplifying from a phrase to a Text adds the FUZZY command in front of the phrase.


• Pressing shift when amplifying to a Tool reverses the Include reference when amplifying option.

If the selection is in a tab with multiple panes, and you amplify to a tab which also allows panes, Accordance usually opens the new tab with the same panes as the original tab, plus an additional pane for the search text if needed.

Triple-click on text or a reference in any Text or Tool pane to automatically amplify to the appropriate Tool selected via the Amplify area of the Preferences dialog box. You can set the default triple-click for English, Greek, Hebrew, Latin, Verse Reference, Greek Key Number, and Hebrew Key Number resources. If a drop-down list for one of these resources is not available, that type of resource is not installed.

• For keyed texts, Shift+triple-click goes to the default English tool selected in the Amplify area of the Preferences dialog box.
• For Greek and Hebrew texts, Shift+triple-click overrides (reverses) the current setting of the Include reference when amplifying item in the General area of the Preferences dialog box.
• Press while triple-clicking to open the tool in a separate workspace.
• If the word is not found in a search of the first tool, the other tools in the category are searched in turn until the word is found.
