Searching for a specific verse in a commentary

[Susan]

I prefer to open commentaries in their own tab. However, if I search for the verse of interest, I am generally taken somewhere several levels up from where I want to be. I then have to navigate through the table of contents down several levels. For instance, searching for Genesis 22:6 in NICOT gives me:

I then have to navigate down 5 levels:

Is there a way to arrive directly at the verse of interest?

 

I know this works if I open it in parallel to the text itself, so I’m confident that Accordance “knows” the “anchors" at that level (I’m sure there is better terminology; sorry I don’t know it), but I’m not sure why I can’t access it via the search tool. (If I change the dropdown to “Scripture,” it takes me even further up - at the top of the book.)

Your images are too small to help us. However, you may find that simply adding the equal sign = in front of the verse reference in any tool finds exactly that reference and not any ranges that include it.

Thanks, Helen. That was pretty simple, but it just hadn’t occurred to me to use that notation in commentaries.  (And sorry about the pictures. I had tried to edit to change them after posting so that they would be readable, but I think I must have been too late to be allowed edits. In any case, you solved my problem, so I won’t bother everybody with more pictures.)

One small problem: in a commentary that has a paragraph about more than one verse, if I search for a specific verse I get an error. For instance, in NICOT if I search:

=Genesis 1:30

I get an error:

 

These words (or references) were not founds in the tool NICOT

 

 In order to make it work, I need to search for:

=Genesis 1:29-30

 but I have no way of knowing that unless I have already located that section of the commentary. Is there a way around that? Thanks.

Susan, what you may want to do is type your verse in the bottom right corner, rather than the search bar.  This will navigate to that verse directly, skipping any greater listings, but still finding it if there is a range.
