ReferenceSearch.org has an expanding vocabulary for controling the search results for your reference queries. Please review the following list of commands along with the examples

^newThe "all" command — Show All References for a book

syntax – book all

Some books are so rarely used that finding all the references for a book is the easiest method. By issuing the all command following a book title, all the indexed references for that book will be displayed. Please be aware that in most cases, this will return a significant amount of documents.

Avot de-Rabbi Natan all

However, remember that book volumes, like Josephus Wars or Baruch, need the volume number included

Wars 3 all

2 Baruch all

The "site" command — limit or list domains in the query

syntax – site:list

When used with a reference search, a list of domains will be presented that match the reference text provided to allow the results to be filtered by the domain providing the material that matches.

Gen 2:1-3 site:list

syntax – site:domainName

Must be used with a reference search, this filters the results to a particular domain.

Gen 2:1-3 site:bible.org

syntax – site:domainName1;domainName2;...domainName9

Must be used with a reference search, this filters the results to a group of domains.

Gen 2:1-3 site:bible.org;jerusalemperspective.com

The "refs" command — specify the number of references shown with results

syntax – refs:X

Setting X to any digit will set the number of references displayed per URL. To show more URLs in a smaller amount of space, use refs:1. The default value is refs:3.

Gen 2:1-3 refs:2

syntax – refs:all

This displays all references found in each URL. This will dramatically increase the amount of data sent to display a page, be careful when issuing this command.

Gen 2:1-3 refs:all

The "urls" command — specify the number of results per page

syntax – urls:XXX

This sets the number of urls to display per page. The default is 50.
