Victor Gutierrez Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 David Lang had an interesting post in his blog about how to find when a name is repeated in the Bible. This post was actually based in a question I had asked in another Bible software's forum. I recently acquired Accordance and decided to try this. It seems as if this is not working in Version 9. I followed the instructions several times, but it came back with different results. Am I missing something? The post was: http://www.accordancebible.com/Is-There-An-Echo Could someone please let me know if this search is still possible with Accordance 9?

Hi Victor, I just did the search and it worked as expected. Could you please be more specific and tell us what exactly went wrong in your case? Did you use GNT-T? Did you set the search to Clauses in the Search field pop-up menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ruben, Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question. I am getting 35 hits instead of the 7 I should be getting. I am also setting the search to clauses. The problem is not getting the result, it is getting a lot more than just the results. I noticed that all those are in the vocative case. If I add that tidbit of information to my Greek construct, I get the desired results in GNT-T, but not in the GNT-TR (unless I change the search to verses in the Search pop-up). Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Brown Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 This was actually a change in version 8 -> version 9. In Version 8, if there was no WITHIN added, it assumed consecutive words. For version 9, add a WITHIN 1 between the words to replicate the search from v8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Gutierrez Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 I have been playing a great deal with the Greek Construct. Something changed between how they did those construct searches in accordance 9, but one can still easily arrive at the same results. I figured out that if I specified that those words had to be together, the result would come up too. In Florida they say that there are many ways to skin a cat. I guess that as I am learning more about Accordance, I am learning different ways to skin that cat. Thanks for your help. P.S. Would a programmer please explain to me why in the GNT-TR if the "clause" option is selected in the Search option, I cannot get any results. Is this because the GNT-TR is tagged differently or something on those lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
