Zahid Hussain, an IT professional from Pakistan has developed a search engine/directory software for the Holy Quran, which can display topic based results from Holy Quran.
Its not that search engine for Holy Quran were not available before, but special feature that Zahid Hussain brought is that you can search for any topic or subject in the Holy Quran in four languages
Roman Urdu is what most of us use in normal text messages so the effort to make the Quran more accessible is commendable.
The way it works is that suppose you want to know what the Quran says about a particular topic, say صبر. You can either type it in Urdu, type Patience in English or Sabar in Roman Urdu.
The software will then tell you how many times it appears in the Quran and where it appears. All translations are provided along with the original ayat.
