2. Look in Verses

You can see an option "Look in verses." This option simply means that eJourn will only look inside entries which have things that look like "verses."

A verse is basically a short line. Actually, it looks for about 4 short lines, one after another, maybe with whitespace in between. If it finds this in an entry, it searches the whole entry; not just within the verse.

Poetry should always show up in verses. Code will almost always show up as well. Also, instant message conversations tend to fit into this as well if you keep those. Todo lists will likely show up. Changelogs will sometimes show up, sometimes not; it depends on how you write your changelogs. If the changelog is long enough it will almost invariably have a section which will look like verses. Paragraphs like this will be skipped.
