## Description

iGurbani is a powerful Gurbani search engine with a rebuilt database from the ground up. It focuses on accurately displaying shabads from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, following a revolutionary style that highlights Vishraam instead of punctuation for readability. The app includes scriptures such as Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Sri Dasam Granth Sahib Ji, Bhai Gurdas Ji Vaaran, and Bhai Nand Lal Ji, with translations available in English and other languages.

Key features include an intuitive modern interface, multiple keyboards, search by first letter from the start or anywhere, Ang/Vaar search, full-word search in Gurmukhi or English, and a searchable history with favorites. Shabad display is fully customizable with Larivaar support and transliteration, and Vishraam is highlighted for quick reading. Note: the database is new and may contain minor errors that we invite the Sangat to help identify and correct.
