Updated: 26 August 2026

Four Products, Different Delivery Architectures

KJV Bible Search is available as four products that share the same overall Bible-search experience but use different delivery architectures. The Android App combines two offline engines and two online engines; the Website Version combines online JSON search with 1,189 static HTML chapter pages; and the WordPress Plugin uses its bundled kjv_full.json Bible database, while the Universal HTML + PWA package uses packaged Bible/application resources for its core Bible-search functions.

Android App

Quad-System Architecture: Offline Bible Engine, Offline Audio Engine, Online JSON Engine and Online HTML Engine.

Website Version

Online unified KJV Bible JSON search plus 1,189 static HTML chapter pages and nine full Prophetic Series pages.

WordPress Plugin v1.5.3 Security Hardened

Android WebView integration: when an Android user is online and opens a live KJVBibleSearch.net page through the app, the website page is displayed inside the app's WebView. The user remains inside the Android app while using the live website environment.

Android App — KJV Bible Search

The Android App is the complete offline + online edition. It uses the built-in KJV_FULL.json Bible data for offline search and rendering, its offline TTS engine for the full Bible and nine prophetic books, and the online JSON + HTML systems whenever internet access is available.

The KJV Bible Search WordPress Plugin v1.5.3 Security Hardened uses its bundled kjv_full.json Bible database for full-Bible search, keyword highlighting, TTS, real-time verse highlighting, copy/share and navigation inside WordPress. Its core Bible-search function does not depend on the live KJVBibleSearch.net website or an external Bible API. The current release also adds signed integrity verification, tamper detection, WordPress Site Health integration, scheduled checksum verification, unexpected PHP-file detection and server-hardening files.

After required resources are cached in a supported browser/PWA environment, it can continue operating offline as well as online.
