Search limiter giving more results??

Matthew Tingblad

Hello. I'm trying to do a search for the number of imperatives spoken by Jesus in Matthew in UBS5.

If I just search for imperatives (@V??M), I get 284 hits.

If I search for imperatives and Jesus as the speaker (@V??M  AND {Speaker <Person Jesus>}) I get 401 hits.

Am I doing something wrong? Why do I get more results when I use AND to narrow the search?

Using the AND operator indicates that you want to return any verses that contain the left and the right side. You want instances where they occur on the same word, which means you want to use the INTERSECTS operator.

@V??M INTERSECTS {Speaker <Person Jesus>}
