I've noticed it is very unhelpful to search Nave's.

For example, using the search terms "Lamb" and  "God", then clicking on "Jesus the Christ" you're taken to the "J"s pg9.

After what seems an interminable period, it then takes you to the entry, "Jesus, The Christ".

The first two Scripture entries are concerning His geneology. They are both dead links by the way (You can't click on them and go to that passage.).

Now, try scrolling down and finding an entry containing the words Lamb and God. I think you'lll see the point of my complaint. It shouldn't be so difficult to perform this search. While scrolling, notice how many dead links you see.

If you know what you're looking for, you may be able to (finally) find "John's testimony concerning Him" which also happens to be a dead link. But what if you didn't know what you were looking for? It would be ten times more difficult.

Thank you for your attention

God bless

You're absolutely correct.  We'll try to find and clear up dead links wherever we can find them -- most of these are typos or errors in formatting, so it'll take some time to find and clean these.

As for the "Jesus the Christ" entry -- this is probably a worst-case scenario for our software.  The entry is (quite understandably) extremely large with many, many links, leading to a huge performance problem with that particular entry.  It reminds me of a verse -- let's see how well I can remember it... John 21:25 "And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written."
