When I run a basic search on my entire library for 'dispensational NEAR temple' (w/o the quotes), I get 38 results in 14 articles. On a close friend's system, he got ~114 results in ~60 articles. I ran it there myself to make sure nothing was different.

I'm running Logos 4.5a on Windows 7. The friend to whom I'm comparing the results is running 4.5 (not sure which SP) on Windows XP. I installed his Logos software and generally make sure things are working OK for him, so I'm familiar with his setup. I have the older Platinum (i.e. w/ Baker) plus numerous additional resources; he has the newer Platinum and not much more. I have ~4,200 resources; he has ~1,500. I exported his results to compare with mine, and I can't find any resource in his results that I don't have.

Has anyone encountered this kind of situation before? Do I need to rebuild my indexes to see if that's the problem? If so, what's the canonical way to rebuild them all? ("rebuild index" then "rebuild bible index")?

Thanks,

Donnie

I'd start by checking Match All Word Forms.

That did the trick - I should have remembered it. Many thanks,

I've said it many times before and I'll say it again: they really need to make that setting visible, instead of hiding it under the icon!
