Search HELP

 

!!! 1. References

To search for references in the text of a resource you need to know the *type* of data or /datatype/, its value and, optionally, how you want to operate on/treat that value. \\ The format is *<datatype Op value>* where *Op* can be: \\ ~ (narrow intersection), \\ = (exact match), \\ /intersect/ (full intersection), \\ /subset/, or \\ /superset/.

To search for references in the text of a resource you need to know the *type* of data or /datatype/, its value and, optionally, \\how you want to operate on/treat that value. \\ The format is *<datatype Op value>* where *Op* can be: \\ ~ (narrow intersection), \\ = (exact match), \\ /intersect/ (full intersection), \\ /subset/, or \\ /superset/.

Note that ~ is the default operator i.e. <bible Jn 3:16> is the same as <bible ~Jn 3:16>; where Jn 3:16 is sought in any reference that specifies a *range* of verses in the *same* chapter. It will be found in /John 3:15-17/ but not in /John 3/, nor /John 2:24-3:17/. See [[Using Operators >> Detailed Search Help # Using Operators with References]].

Note that ~ is the default operator i.e. <bible Jn 3:16> is the same as <bible ~Jn 3:16>; where Jn 3:16 is sought in any reference that specifies a *range* of verses in the *same* chapter. It will be found in /John 3:15-17/ but not in /John 3/, nor /John 2:24-3:17/. See [[Using Operators >> Detailed Search Help # Using Operators with References]]formoredetails.

 

Familiar datatypes are handled automatically, so  <Jn 3:16> or <~Jn 3:16> are the same and <G5547>, <H6213> are recognized as Strong’s numbers.

…

*Jesus ANDNOT Lord* means you want 'Jesus' in the result but NOT 'Lord', whilst 'Lord Jesus', 'Jesus Lord' will be /excluded/.

 

Note that substituting characters (comma, space, dash) can give incorrect results especially in Morph Search e.g. *@N @V* works for AND, but *@N, @V* does not work and you should use *@N OR @V*.

!!! 3. (Proximity) ANDEQUALS, NOTEQUALS

Results from a Bible search are bound by verses and a Basic search (incl. bibles) is bound by articles/chapers, but you can further restrict results by specifying their proximity.

Results from a Bible search are bound by verses and a Basic search (incl. bibles) is bound by articles/chapers, \\but you can further restrict results by specifying their proximity.

These operators require results to be in *exactly* the same /location/, or in different locations (usually in a morphological resource).

 

λόγος ANDEQUALS word => finds where λόγος is translated as "word" \\ i.e. they refer to the /same/ word and thus occupy essentially the same location in the resource.

λόγος NOTEQUALS word => finds where λόγος is *not* translated as "word"

word NOTEQUALS λόγος ==> finds words other than λόγος that were translated as "word". In a reverse interlinear this will show where "word" was interpolated.

word NOTEQUALS λόγος ==> finds words other than λόγος that were translated as "word".\\ In a reverse interlinear, this will show where "word" was interpolated.

 

!!! 4. (Proximity) BEFORE, AFTER, WITHIN, NEAR

…

!!! 5. Lists

A list *(a, b, c, d, ...)* is used to specify alternative search items in a compact form. \\ For example *(who, whoever, whom)* will match /who/ *or* /whoever/ *or* /whom/. The parentheses ( ) are optional in simple searches.

/Prior to v7/ you had to use a list with proximity operators e.g. *(who, whoever, whom) NEAR Christ*, \\ but now you can use *(who OR whoever OR whom) NEAR Christ*.

 

/Prior to v7.0/ you _must_ use a list with proximity operators e.g. *(who, whoever, whom) NEAR Christ* instead of *(who OR whoever OR whom) NEAR Christ*.

Logical operators within a list will give incorrect results e.g. *(God AND love), Jesus* is treated as *(God AND love) AND Jesus*

*Note* logical operators within a list will give incorrect results e.g. *((God AND love), (Jesus AND peace))*

 

!!! 6. Wildcards

*~** will match any sequence of zero or more characters  e.g. *lord~** matches "lord", "lords", "lorded" and "lord's".

 

*~?* will match 1 character in a word and also matches zero characters at the /end/ of a word e.g. *lord~?* matches "lord", "lords" but not "lorded" nor "lord's". \\ *lo?d* matches "lord", "load" but not "lod".

*~?* will match 1 character in a word, and also matches zero characters at the /end/ of a word\\ e.g. *lord~?* matches "lord", "lords" but not "lorded" nor "lord's". \\ *lo?d* matches "lord", "load" but not "lod".

 

A wildcard will not match punctuation, spaces, or anything else that /separates/ words i.e. *Jesus?Christ* and *Jesus~*Christ* will not match "Jesus Christ".

…

This /Search/ is included with Basic Search and Bible Search. It performs an /online/ search of multiple English bibles for *words* that 'fuzzily' belong to a bible passage. The words are treated individually, and should be separated by spaces (or *AND*) to get a result.

 

Results appear in your preferred bible, with the most likely matches at the top. Butthehighlighted words maynotmatch /all/ yourwords. For example, asearch for *fortunate are those who* will highlight "are", "who" in 2 Chron 9:7 (ESV), but "Happy" is not highlighted. A search for *happy are those who* is more fruitful, and you will see "blessed" furtherdown(but not highlighted).

!!!! "Textual"

!!!! Textual

These datatypes identify sections of text in various resources.

The /available/ datasets are documented in manuals (/type:manual/) in your Library. Note that these datatypes require the [[*{Section}* >> # Tagged Data Sections]] extension syntax to get results from your resources.

…

 

!!!! Tagged Data Sections

*{Section...}* returns the text that is identified by a "textual" datatype (from information stored in a dataset).

*{Section...}* returns the text that is identified by a /textual/ datatype (from information stored in a dataset).

 

Example usage:-

…

 

!!!! Milestone

Milestones identify the *text* associated with datatype values in resources like the ESV bible, Enhanced Strong's Lexicon. Consequently, a {Milestone} search will return the text from those resources.

Milestones are datatype /markers/ in resources that are indexed (or organized) by that datatype \\ e.g. the book/chapter/verse numbers in a bible, the Strong's numbers in Enhanced Strong's Lexicon. \\ The {Milestone} extension will return the *text* associated with a datatype value in such resources.

 

* {Milestone <datatype xxx>} --> gets the text of any datatype value except Headword

* {Milestone <datatype xxx>} --> returns the text of any datatype value except Headword

 

For example:

{Milestone <Bible Jn 3:16>} --> gets the text of Jn 3:16 in a Bible or Commentary

{Milestone <Bible Jn 3:16>} --> returns the text of Jn 3:16 in a Bible or Commentary

Note that the text in a commentary is not the actual <bible> text.

  {Milestone <G123>}  --> returns the text of Greek Strong's #123 in Enhanced Strong's Lexicon.

!! Searchable Labels

Many types of data are tagged as labels rather than /datatypes/. The main advantage is the number and search flexibility of their properties e.g. logical NOT, implicit /ANY/ value.
