How-To Guide

Latter-day Search is built on a simple idea: a good search tool should help you find what someone faithful already wrote, not replace them with a machine that sounds like them. Type a question — even a vague one, even a half-remembered phrase — and the tool will surface up to thirty real passages from the libraries you've chosen. The passages are shown verbatim, with full citations. Nothing is summarized. Nothing is generated. The study is yours.

Search Tips

Master semantic and full-text search
