(from another brother):

. First, suppose you search for the occurrence of the Arabic word "qamar" (the moon) in the holy Quran. You get zero answers..! . But if you search for "alqamar" you get five answers . And if you search for "walqamar", you get twenty answers, which do not include the previous ones (those of "alqamar" )..!!! . Therefore, I suggest you should search for the input string, wherever it occurs in the Quran. For example, searching for the three Arabic characters qaf-mym-ra, would give me all the occurrences of "qamar", "alqamar", "walqamar" "falqamar",... etc... . Secondly, your search results are not saved.. if the search produced twenty answers, and if you follow the first answer and you realize it is not what you are looking for, you can not return back to your initial search results to follow the second answer..! The search page is reset to zero, so you have to start the same search over again..!

بدا Should show zumar:47

(وَلَوْ أَنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا وَمِثْلَهُ مَعَهُ لَافْتَدَوْا بِهِ مِنْ سُوءِ الْعَذَابِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۚ وَبَدَا لَهُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَحْتَسِبُونَ) [سورة الزمر : 47] On Aug 4, 2014 2:58 AM, "ahmedre" notifications@github.com wrote:

Another one. The occurrence in Surah Qaf is not shown unless 'و' is added. Screenshots follow:

no response if search for راعون

ahmedre commented 7 years ago

if I search "جاهدوا" there are many ayah that doesn't show up just because they're not exactly "جاهدوا" but "وجاهدوا".

In the Quran app for android, the search engine can't find the word 'قتلهم' in chapter Ale Imran, verse 181.

Also, it can not find verses when you start searching with the و or even when it is in the middle of an aya.
