Verse Reference Search - Make More Exact

Shalom wonderful Accordance Team,

 

It would be nice if there was a way to tighten up on the verse reference search in the Research tab (i.e. find *only* a specific verse, instead of also getting hits for ranges (which sometimes include whole chapters) containing the verse.  Please see attached example.

 

Thank you.

Hi Mark.  I don't understand.  Can you elaborate please?  When / where am I supposed to hold down the Alt key?

 

(And because, I'm also seeing in my search for "1Ki 18:27" that not only whole chapters, but even references to the entire book of 1 Kings appear in the hits).

Sorry. When selecting a reference to Research, hold down the option key on a Mac, Alt key on the PC before you right-click on the reference and select "Research." It will put an "=" sign in front of the reference which tells Accordance to search for the verse without the range.

If you already have the Research tab open and have entered a verse, simply put an equal sign in front of the reference manually.

The "=" sign can also be used in front of a word to tell Accordance NOT to ignore case and accent marks. So =Lord will find "Lord" with a capital "L". =εἷς will find that form instead of εἰς, which is, of course, a completely different word.
