An ESV / Yahoo mashup

Open Bible: https://www.openbible.info

One of the many and varied things available on the Open Bible website is called Topical Bible. It is a mashup of the Yahoo and ESV Bible web services. It searches the Internet for the topics that interest people, many of which you’d never find in a traditional topical Bible. Then it shows relevant verses.

It is a helpful resource for those seeking to explore what the Bible says about a wide range of subjects. The user interface is clean and straightforward, with a prominent search bar that invites users to type in any topic – from anxiety and forgiveness to marriage or worship. Upon searching, the site generates a curated list of relevant Bible verses, each clearly referenced and presented in plain text (usually ESV), making it easy to read and reflect.

The site avoids commentary, allowing Scripture to speak for itself. This makes it especially useful for personal study or devotional use when you want to quickly find Scripture on a specific issue.
