Randy Steffens Jr Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 When I run this search in Accordance [COUNT 7], and manually set the range to Revelation (by clicking on the plus sign), I get a list of all the words in Revelation that appear 7 times. However when I run this search [COUNT 7] <AND> [RANGE Revelation] I do not get all the words that occur 7 times in Revelation. I get several words who's number of occurrences range from 1 to 7 according to Analysis. Also, Analysis shows that the [RANGE] part of my query has 0 results. Am I using the [RANGE] command wrong? Why do these two searches not yield matching results? Thanks! Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Brown Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 We've covered this a few times in the past (perhaps needs a dedicated help topic!) but let my briefly explain the difference in the [RANGE] command and the Range popup menu. Technically, they have one specific difference: The Range popup menu limits the search, while the [RANGE] command limits the displayed results. Now, this may seem like a technical distinction, it allows for different searches. Consider: 1) What are all of the words used once throughout Revelation? Answer: [COUNT 1] with Range popup set to Revelation. 2) What are all of the hapax legomenon (the words used once ever) (the words used once ever) in Revelation? Answer: [COUNT 1] AND [RANGE Revelation] You could even combine them. Such as: 3) List all of the words used once in Luke's writings that occur in the first chapter of Acts? [COUNT 1] AND [RANGE Acts 1] with Range popup set to Luke, Acts. This distinction also matters when using the different Analytics. If you run a search for [VERB] AND [RANGE Matthew] you'll notice that your Hits Graph still consists of the entire corpus. Thats because the *results* were limited, not the search. To limit the search, and thus the range displayed in the Hits Graph, use the Range popup menu. Final thought: Remember that the Range popup is available via the '+' button as a Search Condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Λύχνις Δαν Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Joel beat me to it with a more comprehensive answer so nothing to add but its mentioned in the help here : file:///Applications/Accordance.app/Contents/Resources/Accordance%20Help/Default.htm#topics/06_braa/count.htm?Highlight=count%20and%20range.

Randy Steffens Jr Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 I see! That's a fantastic feature. Thanks for explaining it to me. Sorry to have asked something that's already been covered here... I did a quick search and didn't see anything right off, but I'll be sure to check a little harder next time! Thanks so much!
