How to do exact greek search?

[Ιακοβ]

When I try to search for =δοκει, it doesn't search for that word, it gives me a popup box, and i can't work out how to get rid of it. How do i search for an exact match on the letters? I know that word is in the text because I can see it in the screenshot!

 

Thanks!

Whack it in quotes as well to get the exact inflected form you want. It will still pop up because δοκει on its own does not exist whereas δοκεῖ does.

Of it want just the inflected form put it in quotes like : "δοκει"

Never mind, it seems that it can be achieved using a single quote, but you can't just press the ' key, you have to pick it from the menu at the top of the screen.

If you hold the option key you can then type the quote character.

More information: Accordance's default search is for the lexeme (Cmd+L). If you type in a series of Greek letters, it will assume you want the lexeme. If it simply doesn't exist in the target text, the pop up appears to allow you to select one that does.

 

Cmd+J searches for an inflected form (a specific series of Greek letters, irrespective of the lexeme to which they belong). It will automatically enter double quotes before and after the form, which can be selected from that pop up dialog box. Alternately, you can type double quotes before (") and then the Greek letters directly.

 

If you want δοκει as a specific form of δοκεω, then you can combine the two: δοκεω@ "δοκει"

An even better way to do that would be to attach a grammatical tag: δοκεω@ [VERB third singular present active indicative]

 

All the equals sign does is tell Accordance you also want to match accents, breathing marks, capitalization and final forms.

 

Hope this helps!
