The translations of Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and other languages to English complicate searching and finding all information Trible Library contains about to people, concepts, and terms related to Christianity. Try searching Google and Wikipedia to obtain different spellings of your word or phrase before researching a topic.
Certain databases have incorporated natural language processing into their search engines. In Ebsco databases like ATLA, Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Philosopher's Index, and Religion & Philosophy Collection, try selecting SmartText Searching in the Search Modes box: "Enter as much text for your search as you want - a phrase, a sentence, paragraph, or even whole page." In ProQuest databases like Religion Database and Arts & Humanities Database, the search will automatically interpret your terms, finding variant forms of the words you enter. While not as "smart" as the Ebsco SmartText search functionality, this will assist in finding articles on your topic.
Trible Library's online catalog is not "smart" in this way. When you look for books, make sure to either search for each spelling independently or do an advanced search which connects the alternate spellings in the search fields with the operator "OR".
