SWC Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm trying to help someone who has limited internet access so can't ask the question here himself. He has Accordance 10.3.1 and wants to search the BHS-W4 for two specific Hebrew words... not where they occur together in the same verse... but all the places where they otherwise occur within 3 verses of each other. Hope this makes sense... the two words he is looking for are the Hebrew words for table & shewbread. Is this kind of search even possible? If so how? Thanks in advance!

Helen Brown Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 He would open the Options section by clicking on the + sign to the left of the entry box, and set the first option to Scope: chapter. His search entry would be table Shewbread. We cannot select a number of verses, so he has to limit the distance by words, doesn't have to be 100 of course.

Matt J Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 He would open the Options section by clicking on the + sign to the left of the entry box, and set the first option to Scope: chapter. His search entry would be table <WITHIN 100 words> Shewbread. We cannot select a number of verses, so he has to limit the distance by words, doesn't have to be 100 of course. Hi Helen, Is this kind of search possible in versions 9? I can't see any + sign but I assume that's probably just to do with the differing GUI of the version not their capability? Could you please explain how to do so? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Simpson Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Yep - sure is. The options appear to the right of the search text drop down when in word mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kuo Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I'm at work so I haven't tested this, but you might be able to take advantage of the fact that the Hebrew text contains a Sof pasuq (the symbol that looks like a colon) at the end of each verse. You might be able to construct a series of searches where the context is set to all text: word1 <AND> word2 <AND> sof passuq <OR> word1 <AND> sof passuq <AND> word2 <AND> sof passuq <OR> word1 <AND> sof passuq <AND> sof passuq <AND> word2 <AND> sof passuq This might work.

Helen Brown Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Bob, your solution does not work. Just set the scope to Chapter and use a WITHIN, and this will work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
