Helen Brown Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Sorry, constructs can only be used for texts. What were you trying to search for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleV Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Sorry, constructs can only be used for texts. What were you trying to search for? I was looking for "the power of God for salvation" in Calvin's Institutes - I was hoping to search for the words "power" and "God" and "salvation" in close proximity.

Dale, would the following search work for you? [see attachment] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleV Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Dale, would the following search work for you? [see attachment] Yes, that works fine, except that it results in 783 hits. I had hoped to use a simple construct to reduce it to a more manageable number of hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Use WITHIN to limit the search to, say, words within 5 words of the next word. power God salvation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
