Where are the 'Levites'?

In John 1:19, if I right-click Λευίτας in NA28 and search for the Lexeme, I get one hit -- John 1:19

If I search the ESV for Levite*, I get 3 hits -- Lk 10:32, Jn 1:19, Act 4:36

Doing a Lexeme search on Λευίτης in either the Luke or Acts passage gives the same single result -- John 1:19, a lexeme search doesn't even find the verse searched from

Doing an Inflected search from the Luke or Acts passage rings a bell (which I don't think means I'm a winner, because no hits result  :) )

Doing an Inflected search from John brings up John 1:19

 

If I do a Lemma search in BibleWorks I get all 3 instances

 

I'm puzzled as to why a Lexeme or Inflected search brings up the John passage only and is there a simple way to find all occurrences from the Context menu?

When I right-click on Λευίτας and select Search For—>Lexeme, I get all three occurrences in the NA28.

Take a screenshot of your search and we’ll see if there’s something obvious. Make sure you include all the search bar.

Well that's not comforting.  :)

 

Ken, making the screenshot solved the problem. There was this little Range issue on the search results tab. It only had 'John'. Clearing that brings up the same results Mark came up with. Thanks to both of you for fixing a little pebkac on my part.  :blink:

Glad you worked it out Scott. Even better that you worked it out yourself. Pebkac as one of my most common issues too.
