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

The main unit of proximity for these operators is /WORDS/ or /WORD/ and these are the actual words you see in the text. For example *Lord BEFORE 4 WORDS Christ*, *Lord WITHIN 2-3 WORDS Christ*; where *4* means /between/ 1 and 4, *2-3* means /between/ 2 and 3. Use *2-2* for /exactly/ 2 words. Note that intervening punctuation and footnote markers are ignored.

/CHARACTERS/ or /CHARS/ can be used and they /include/ word separators (space), punctuation and footnote markers. Consequently, the minimum separation between words is 2. For example *Lord BEFORE 2 CHARS "Jesus Christ"* will find "Lord Jesus Christ" with no punctuation or footnote markers between "Lord" and "Jesus Christ".

!!!! BEFORE, AFTER

…

Jesus BEFORE Christ

Jesus BEFORE 2 WORDS Christ

Christ AFTER 2 WORDS Jesus

Christ AFTER 2 WORDS Jesus  ==> functionally the same as "Jesus BEFORE 2 WORDS Christ"

You can use *5. Lists* to specify multiple words e.g. (Lord, Jesus) BEFORE 2 WORDS Christ.

!! Basic Search

Primarily used for non-bible resources, but you can search bibles as per *Bible Search* above with the advantage that results can cross verse boundaries (select "Bible Text" instead of *All text*).

You can use operators and lists #1 to #9.

 

*lang:word* is a manuscript search, where *lang* can be /greek/, /hebrew/, /aramaic/, /syriac/ or a non-biblical language e.g. greek:λόγος, aramaic:מלך, hebrew:מלך. It will find /all/ occurrences of that word in an Interlinear bible unless you restrict it to "Surface Text" instead of *All Text*.

#. WITHIN, INTERSECTS

* x WITHIN y --> finds text /x/ that is fully contained within /y/

* x INTERSECTS y --> finds those parts of text /x/ that overlap /y/ --- *v7+* \\ (x WITHIN 0 WORDS y --- *Logos6*)

* x INTERSECTS y --> finds those parts of text /x/ that overlap /y/ --- *v7+* \\ (x WITHIN 0 WORDS y --- *v6*)

#. NOT modifier --- *v7+*  \\ Acts as a logical NOT with certain operators:

* x NOT WITHIN y

…

* NOT EQUALS is the same as NOTEQUALS

 

Use INTERSECTS whereANDEQUALS(EQUALS)willfailbecausethe search terms do not share the /exact/ same location.

Use INTERSECTS where the search terms may not share the /exact/ same location.

If the text of one search term may not be contained /fully/ WITHIN the other, use INTERSECTS.

Note that INTERSECTS highlights and counts the overlapping text.

 

For example:

<Person Jesus> ANDEQUALS <Place Nazareth> --> gets one result in most RI's (Acts 26.9). In Mt9:1 (ESV) "his owncity" is tagged for Nazareth, but only "own" is tagged for Jesus, so <Person Jesus> does not /occupy/ the same locations as <Place Nazareth>.

<Person Jesus> ANDEQUALS <Place Nazareth> --> gets one result in most RI's (Acts 26.9). In Mk6:1 (ESV) "his hometown" is tagged for Nazareth, but only "his" is tagged for Jesus, so <Person Jesus> does not /occupy/ the same locations as <Place Nazareth>.

<Person Jesus> WITHIN <Place Nazareth> ---> will get more results, incl. Mt9:1 because <Person Jesus> is fully within the text for <Place Nazareth>.

<Person Jesus> WITHIN <Place Nazareth> ---> will get more results, incl. Mk6:1 because <Person Jesus> is fully within the text for <Place Nazareth>.

  <Person Jesus> INTERSECTS <Place Nazareth>  --> will get even more results because of overlap. This is the preferred search.
