Construct Search: I seem to be getting incorrect results.

I was following an old thread here and did a search for "Theos" NOT preceeded by the article. (within 2 words) (masc, sing, nom for theos.)

 

I seem to be getting contrary results.

 

Can anyone with more than "baby-greek" like myself check this and shed some light on it?

Bob,

Here is what would use. Proximity is automatically assumed unless you use the within option. No need to agree anything because you are searching for what is not there, so there is nothing to agree. 

 

Hope this helps.

rpaich (is it Bob - sorry ... I guess I've not paid enough attention to the posts to be sure - at one time I thought your name was Ron),

 

  Do you have Search both directions set in your construct in your original post ? If you do you will get the results you see. If not you will get what you are looking for. Granted it's more complex than it needs to be but I wanted to find the source of the apparently errant results.

 

  Oh and the two searches (yours and John's) give different results. Yours 24 versus Johns 11.

  As an example John 1:1 appears in your search but not John's.

 

thx

Daniel,

Yes I did out of ignorance.

Thanks for pointing that out.

 

And it is Bob. :)

Please note that proximity used to be assumed in the Construct, but since version 10 it is NOT assumed. There can now be any number of intervening words between columns unless you set the WITHIN. This change was made in order to accommodate the Syntax searching (which is still being developed and refined).
