It took me so long to find the Bible verse I was thinking of when all I could remember was "God bringeth the increase" -- I knew it was something about one plants, another waters, but God brings the "increase" and I was absolutely certain it was worded as "increase" in at least the KJV.
Phrase search for "God bringeth the increase" found zip, even in my Entire Library. Proximity search for bring BEFORE 1 increase (with match all word forms on) found nothing.
I finally did a Google search for "God bringeth the increase" and still found only 3 hits which were all the same one and didn't give the Bible reference. Very frustrating.
Then I tried Google search for "God brings the increase." Over 5000 hits, so I know I'm not dreaming. This verse does exist somewhere, and other people remember the wording as I do, but that is obviously not what the correct wording is.
Finally, in exasperation, I do a Bible search for God BEFORE 4 words increase in KJV only. It took nearly 1 minute for the Bible version dropdown to populate so that I could choose KJV (pressing Enter after just typing in kjv dismisses the dropdown without putting through a request to select that item once the list is populated). Uggh! But at least I finally got my answer. The verb was giveth not bringeth. Duh. Pretty close synonym, though.
Actually, Fuzzy Search wouldn't have helped me here. I just tried in in Logos 3, and it didn't find anything, even when I directed it to search just in the KJV. (And it was slower in determining that it couldn't find it.)
What we really need is an even smarter Fuzzy Search (call it AI Search) that would take into account synonyms for words that people might have misremembered. Let it do complete phrase searches too, and plug in the possible synonyms.
