Search

Searching for words in the translation or the Arabic text, the order of results, and opening a result.

Open Search in the main menu and type one or more words. Results are shown as you type.

How search works

• Words are searched in the translation of the chosen language. Other forms of a word are found as well; for example, patient also finds patiently and patience. Snowball stemming is used for English, French, Turkish and Russian, and Sastrawi root words for Indonesian.
• A typing error of one or two letters is corrected, and the application states which word was adjusted.
• When several words are entered, ayat containing all of them are shown first. If there are none, the closest matches are shown.
• A word in Arabic letters is searched in the text of the Qur'an, disregarding the vowel marks.
