About Online Bibles
Increasingly, a careful search of the web will turn up many editions of the Bible which are freely usable by anyone, and many of which are searchable in increasingly sophisticated ways.
Of necessity, I have provided only a small sample of the available options for students, and I have tried to list them in their order of utility.
In addition to the Bibles listed and described in detail in the center panel of this webpage, students may be interested in the following Bibles:

BibleGateway.com
BibleGateway.com boasts scores of different versions of the Bible in dozens of different languages. You can search by passage or keyword. It is not powerful, but it is easy to use.
The Unbound Bible at Biola University
The Unbound Bible may not be flashy, but it is definitely a powerful searching tool. The default page is a "simple search," but the pull-down menu allows you to do advanced searches, using boolean operators and various limiters. You can also display parallel columns of different versions.
University of Michigan HTI
The University of Michigan's Humanities Text Inititiative (HTI) is even less flashy than "The Unbound Bible," and has links to only three different searchable on-line English translations of the Bible. But here you can easily do simple searches, as well as proximity searches, or boolean searches, making this a very powerful search engine.
