Re: Sword phrase search not returning all expected results

Hi Tobias,

Returning to the start of this thread...

Using Advanced Search in Xiphos, it found these 11 locations for the exact phrase "generation to generation"

> Exo 17:16

> Isa 13:20
> Isa 34:10
> Isa 34:17Isa 51:8
>
> Jer 50:39
> Lam 5:19
> Dan 4:3
> Dan 4:34
> Joel 3:20Luke 1:50

The one your Ezra user's search missed completely looks like this:

> $$$Lamentations 5:19
> <w lemma="strong:H03068">Thou, O <divineName>Lord</divineName></w>, <w lemma="strong:H03427" morph="strongMorph:TH8799">remainest</w> <w lemma="strong:H05769">for ever</w>; <w lemma="strong:H03678">thy throne</w> <w lemma="strong:H01755">from generation</w> <w lemma="strong:H01755">to generation</w>.

Best regards,

David
