Hi,
I was answering a question in another forum about how to fund the first verse in a chapter,.

This I did with * <WITHIN 1 words> [FIELD Begin]

with the scope set to chapter. Seemed to work fine, though I didn't check every chapter...

I thought I would play around with it it, and set the range to book.
pressed return, and then immediately noticed that my hit number was only 57 instead of 66 (31 in the OT, 26 in the NT)

The results were:
Lev 1:1; Josh 1:1; Judg 1:1; Ruth 1:1; 1 Sam 1:1; 2 Sam 1:1; 1 Kgs 1:1; 2 Kgs 1:1; 1 Chr 1:1; 2 Chr 1:1; Ezra 1:1; Neh 1:1; Esth 1:1; Job 1:1; Prov 1:1; Eccl 1:1; Song 1:1; Lam 1:1; Dan 1:1; Hos 1:1; Joel 1:1; Amos 1:1; Obad 1:1; Jonah 1:1; Mic 1:1; Nah 1:1; Hab 1:1; Zeph 1:1; Hag 1:1; Zech 1:1; Mal 1:1; Matt 1:1; Mark 1:1; John 1:1; Acts 1:1; Rom 1:1; 1 Cor 1:1; 2 Cor 1:1; Gal 1:1; Eph 1:1; Phil 1:1; Col 1:1; 1 Thess 1:1; 2 Thess 1:1; 1 Tim 1:1; 2 Tim 1:1; Titus 1:1; Phlm 1:1; Heb 1:1; Jas 1:1; 1 Pet 1:1; 2 Pet 1:1; 1 John 1:1; 2 John 1:1; 3 John 1:1; Jude 1:1; Rev 1:1

Which obviously leaves out Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Psalms, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Luke.

Seems like random exceptions to me. I noticed in NIV-G/K first and then ESVS.
HCSBS and NASBS add in Deuteronomy (58 hits)
ASV (3) and NET add in Daniel and Jeremiah (59 hits)
NRSV is also incorrect. Reporting 70 when I think there should be about 78 (depending on what is in the apocrypha)

HMT-W4 has 38 (missing Jeremiah)
GNT-T UBS4-T and NA270T have 27!

I assume it is some sort of text markup issue.

No great disaster, but I thought I should point it out....
