PhpAv is an effort to fill the void on the internet for functional, available Bible searches, just as its predecessor phpBible.org attempted to also fill that void. PhpAV takes the functionality of phpBible.org and extends it to those unable to install the full script and database.  PhpAV utilizes javascript in the client side to deliver the user's requests to the PHP scripts that then retrieves the data from a mySQL database and return it to the javascript for display. Google uses a similar technique in their Google Coop. 

The benefit of such a technique is that the full power of the search can be delivered to any page on any site, making the Bible even more accessible than ever.
