William Cross Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Can't figure out how to change this setting for the upper right hand search bar in the workspace toolbar. The drop down menu to the right of the magnifying glass does not provide the option of flex or exact. I keep entering phrases like "Deity of Christ" and it searches for "Deity", "of", and "Christ" instead of the phrase. Any help is appreciated.

William Cross Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Thanks Mark. I was hoping that was not the solution. I actually really like having flex turned on for most of my searches. I was hoping there was a separate preference for the Research Toolbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Allison Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 For most searches, putting = in front of the term will constrain your search to an exact search, regardless of settings. So, =love will only find "love", even in a flex search, and =John 3:16 will only find that specific reference, and not the range that contains it.

William Cross Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 I tried =deity of Christ in the Research portion of the Workspace toolbar but it turns up nothing. But if I change the preferences from flex to exact for all search bars "deity of Christ" brings results. So I know there are results but the "=" is not working for some reason.

Mark Allison Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Sorry. Put a phrase in quotes when performing a flex search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Cross Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 That's it. Gracias! Don't know why this was so hard to find. I had looked in Accordance Help and on the Forums but I guess I did not know what to look for there either. Searching the Help for Phrases did not turn this info up for me or I must have missed it. Found all kinds of info on Constructs but not this simple piece of info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Allison Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Thanks for the info. I'll try to update the help documentation to make it easier to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
