Scripture export by key word

[CamJPete]

I'm wanting to do more topical study of the scriptures. I have yet to find a site where I can search for scriptures containing a specific word and then export all those scriptures, so that I can organize those scriptures. Elder Bednar gave a talk in 2007 called Reservoir of Living Water where he gave this study method:

"As I reviewed the scriptures about gathering, I marked verses with similar phrases or points of emphasis, using a colored pencil. By the time I had read all of the scriptures, some of the verses were marked in red, some were marked in green, and some were marked in other colors. Now, here comes the part that may make you laugh. I next used my scissors to cut out the scriptures I had copied and sorted them into piles by color. The process produced a large pile of scriptures marked with red, a large pile of scriptures marked with green, and so forth. I then sorted the scriptures within each large pile into smaller piles."

I'd like to do something similar, but all digitally. The BYU index website his a great search tool, but I can't find a way to export the entire list. I have an excel format of the scriptures, and have used a workaround to search verses for a specific word with a formula, but it's less than ideal. The LDS website I've found to be subpar for this activity as well. Any insights into this?

As an example, suppose I am studying faith. So I search and have a list of all verses with faith in it. Then I want to export the entire list with each verse as it's own paragraph that I can then organize in another program.

There was a time when the church licensed the scriptures to third parties and they produced study apps for Windows (and I think there was at least one for Mac). You probably could do things like that with those tools of times past. I remember how people liked to tell us in talks and lessons how many times a word appeared in the scriptures because those tools would let you search such things. With the church getting all the content online, I doubt those tools still exist. I just did some searches and found ScriptureNotes (https://scripturenotes.com/). It has free and paid options. Maybe that would have the tools you're looking for. I also found ScripturePlus: https://scriptureplus.org/
