Question About the Count Command


SWC

Recommended Posts

I have a question about the [COUNT -] command. When used with the normal Search range pop up menu... I get results that I can understand.

 

Example: When searching the NAS95S using [COUNT 100] and the Search range pop up menu restricting the search to the Book of Genesis... I get 200 hits. It consists of 2 words that occur 100 times each.

 

So far so good...

 

However when I use the same translation and the same [COUNT 100] but choose to restrict the range with [RANGE Genesis]... the results I get make no sense to me at all.

 

Why do I get 56 hits in the Book of Genesis consisting of 8 words... none of which occur 100 times?

 

Here are the results:

 

Blessed = 3

ears = 12

greatly = 10

kind = 19

linen = 1

possess = 5

prepared = 5

south = 1

 

Granted I have the Search field pop up menu set at

Think of the [RANGE] command as a filter. It runs your search across the entire text and then filters the results to what has been specified. So, [COUNT 100] [RANGE Genesis] gives you the words that occur 100 times throughout your text, but only showing their hits within Genesis.

Think of the [RANGE] command as a filter. It runs your search across the entire text and then filters the results to what has been specified. So, [COUNT 100] <AND> [RANGE Genesis] gives you the words that occur 100 times throughout your text, but only showing their hits within Genesis.

 

Thanks Joel! This makes sense now...
