This review is from: Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible: Based upon the King James Version/Thumbed Indexed/Unabridged (Hardcover)

Young's concordance has a unique style of cataloging words: like most concordances, Young's lists all the occurrences of each King James Version (KJV) English word, but with the twist that under each English word, it separates the underlying Hebrew or Greek words that were translated into the indexed English word. As an example, the word "love" might be the word you want to look up. Under the word "love" will appear the Greek word "agapao," with all its references in order. Also will appear the Greek word "phileo," with all of its references.

This is really neat, since it gives you a peek behind the KJV text to get at the translators' thoughts in a certain verse. You are also able to compare their use of the English word as a translation of the various Hebrew or Greek words that underly it. The only drawback of the Young's is the lack of a really effective way to research all the words translated in the KJV from a certain Greek or Hebrew word, for instance the word "phileo," which has several English translations. Young's does have an index of this information, but you are forced to look up each English word in order to find the various related verses. For a comprehensive word search on a specific Hebrew or Greek word, Strong's concordance may provide a better choice...

Nevertheless, Young's is my first choice for day-to-day use and completeness.
