A new feature was introduced this week: Now the search for a word provides the user with a new button, the EXCLUDE button. Upon seeing his many results, and the user detects many are irrelevant hits, now he can exclude those irrelevant hits, right there on the spot, to refine his results, or to better pinpoint his searched word.
Here's a good example how to use it. In under two minutes you can find how many explicit mentions of Moshe (Moses' name) appears in Torah:
Open the site (toraware.org), or the app [if you installed it on your phone], change the range to be from Beraishis to Zot Habracha.
Hit FIND WORD(s); Type in "משה"; Use the option "ENDS with my letters"; Hit GO.
On the results page, hit the Exclude button.
Type in "חמשה", (this will rule out those irrelevant hits of the number 5, which also ends in משה); Hit GO.
And voila - משה shows up 770 times in Torah.
Of course it takes knowledge to realize that two of those hits are false positives. (Devarim 15:2 and Shemot 12:4). Thus Moshe's name is explicitly mentioned 768 times in Torah. You had to be a sage of the caliber of our earlier sages to have figured that out in under 2 minutes!!
