Different search results with the same query

Could anybody explain the difference in the search results?

As far as I can see, the search query is exactly the same, except that the first search is done with Logos 7, the second with Logos Now (which gives the Query option on the left that I didn't use).

What I'm looking for is all instances where אלהים is NOT translated 'god' (or gods, or god's etc. of course). However, the second search includes 'gods' and 'god's' in its results. I also tried the string: lemma:אֱלֹהִים NOTEQUALS <Person God>, but this in fact showed at least 2000 results!!

I suspect that the Logos Now web app hasn't implemented the syntax yet or what Bradley says below. As for the actual results, from the BWS

For (1), you have "Match all word forms" turned on, so it excludes results for “gods”, “God’s”, etc., For (2), you have "Match all word forms" turned off, so those results are included.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this; “Logos Now” isn’t a separate application, but just includes more datasets and features unlocked in Logos 7.

Turn on the "Match case" option, and search for:

lemma:אֱלֹהִים NOTEQUALS (god, gods, god's)

Ay, that's not the first time I forget about that feature!
Time to give that option a more prominent place in the search window...

Thank you, for pointing me to that solution, which indeed solves the issue.
