Jesus -Lord  --> dash = ANDNOT (no space after the dash)

 

In a /case sensitive/ Bible Search, *Jesus ANDNOT Lord* means you want "Jesus" in a /verse/ but NOT "Lord" (a referent for "Jesus"), whilst "lord" will be included. *Jesus ANDNOT "Lord Jesus"* is less restrictive, as it allows "Lord" outside the phrase/expression "Lord Jesus".

In a /case sensitive/ Bible Search, *Jesus ANDNOT Lord* means you want "Jesus" in a /verse/ but NOT "Lord" (a referent for "Jesus"or"God"), whilst "lord" will be included.\\ *Jesus ANDNOT "Lord Jesus"* is less restrictive, as it allows "Lord" outside the phrase/expression "Lord Jesus".

 

Note that using the characters /comma/, /space/, and /dash/ can give incorrect results when used in combination with Proximity & Morph operators e.g. *@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 bychaptersor articles, \\ but you can further restrict results by specifying their proximitytoeachother.

These operators require results to be in *exactly* the same /location/, or in different locations; usually in a morphological resource, or a reverse interlinear bible.

 

For example:

λόγος ANDEQUALS word => finds where λόγος is translated as "word" \\ i.e. they refer to each other, and share the same location in the resource.

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

…

!!!! BEFORE, AFTER

These specify that word(s) should occur /BEFORE/ or /AFTER/ another word(s), and /optionally/ restrict their proximity.

 

For example:

Jesus BEFORE Christ

…

 

!!! 6. Wildcards

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

*~** will match any sequence of zero or more characters  

*~?* will match 1 character in a word, and also matches zero characters at the /end/ of a word.

 

*~?* 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".

For example:

*lord~** matches "lord", "lords", "lorded" and "lord's".

*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".

…

!!! 8. Fields

A Field is a specially tagged portion of text in a resource e.g. Bible Text, Words of Christ, Heading Text.

Use the "All... Text" drop down to limit a search to a field.

Use the "All... Text" drop downmenu to limit a search to a field.

To match a specific word(s) within a field use the format *fieldname:word*  e.g. words-of-christ:"blessed are".

An alternative syntax is *[field fieldname1, fieldname2, ...] word* e.g. [field words-of-christ] "blessed are".

…

Used for morphologically tagged resources, usually bibles.

General format is *lemma:word@morph* or *root:word@morph* e.g. lemma:λόγος@N, root:λεγω@N.

But you can also search for *lemma:word*, *root:word* or *@morph*.

But you can also search for *lemma:word*, *root:word* or *@morph*e.g.lemma:λόγος,@N

* type /g:transliteration/ or /h:transliteration/ to get a Greek or Hebrew word list e.g. g:logos, g:lego, h:el.

 

* type @ to get a "Part of Speech" drop down and make your selections.

Type *g:transliteration* or *h:transliteration* to get a Greek or Hebrew word list, from which you can select a lemma e.g. g:logos, g:lego, h:el.

* a root is best selected from the context menu e.g. λεγω is the root for λόγος so the search has to be root:λεγω@N.

Type *@* to get a "Part of Speech" drop down and make your selections.

A root is best selected from the context menu e.g. λεγω is the root for λόγος so the search has to be root:λεγω@N.

 

Morphological terms can be used with operators #2 thru #6, #8 and #9 above, but note the following:

!! Bible Search

A convenient way to search for /biblical/ text in bibles, and for data that is associated with it e.g. glosses, variantreadings. You can also perform morphological searches but get the format by using Morph Search as above and then select Bible Search e.g. lemma:λόγος@N will then appear as \\ <lemma = lbs/el/λόγος> ANDEQUALS <lbs-morph+el ~ N????>, where lbs=Logos Morph and el=Greek.

You can use operators and lists #1 to #9, but using a subset of #1 that applies to bibles eg. Louw-Nida and Strong's numbers. Note that you won't find bible references!

!! Fuzzy Bible Search

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. Note that some words are ignored, and /fuzzy/ matches are not highlighted. For example, results 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 results with "blessed", whilst 2 Chron 9:7 is not included!
