If one is needed, I'm happy to do so. But further experimentation using 
diatheke was educational. Now I have more understanding but less 
explanation. And the difference is clearly happening in Sword, not Xiphos.

Xiphos' sidebar search, in the lucene case, reworks the search request 
to convert each space-delimited TERM to +TERM so that lucene search 
always asks for a logical "and" of the TERMs offered. "and" is the 
normal use case for simple sidebar search. Xiphos does this even when 
there's just one word, which should (hm, "should") make it redundant but 
harmless. I've found that the difference is found between
diatheke -b 2TGreek -s lucene -k παντοκρατωρ
and
diatheke -b 2TGreek -s lucene -k +παντοκρατωρ
The latter returns nothing, the former returns the expected set. The 
same holds true in e.g. TischMorph and TR.

I looked at the difference between Xiphos' sidebar and advanced search 
to confirm this: Advanced search does no '+' favors, it just takes the 
user's input literally. So when I do advanced search for παντοκρατωρ, I 
get a reasonable set, but when I do so using +παντοκρατωρ, I get nothing.

Troy, can you offer an explanation for why (some) single term searches 
have no results when prefixed with '+'? This doesn't happen in all 
cases, e.g. I can search for "jesus" alone in any English bible, with or 
without leading '+', and get the same results.

diatheke -b NET -s lucene -k +jesus | tr ';' '\n' | wc -l
1157
diatheke -b NET -s lucene -k jesus | tr ';' '\n' | wc -l
1157
diatheke -b NASB -s lucene -k +jesus | tr ';' '\n' | wc -l
948
diatheke -b NASB -s lucene -k jesus | tr ';' '\n' | wc -l
948
diatheke -b KJV -s lucene -k +jesus | tr ';' '\n' | wc -l
943
diatheke -b KJV -s lucene -k jesus | tr ';' '\n' | wc -l
943

All that said, I still have no explanation at all for how some results 
in Matt, Mark, 1Pet etc are being obtained for regex or phrase searches.
