How about Lord NOTEQUALS <Lemma ~ lbs/he/יהוה>

Ok I just tried this on the NLT and it's not working. It just finds every instance of Lord. Any other ideas?
This is because for some reason (bug), the NLT RI has YHWH assigned to "the" of "the Lord" and nothing (just a pointer) to Lord - other bibles are the other way round.
Have joy in the Lord!

Lord ANDNOT <lemma ~ lbs/he/יהוה>
Is this what I should be doing instead? Only found 20 results. That's more like what I was expecting.
No. That will exclude all instances of Lord in a verse i.e. both Lord with and Lord without the Tetragrammaton.
With Reverse Interlinears, there will be difficulties because of the alignment and order of Hebrew words to English (as with NLT in particular). With ESV, (Lord NOT INTERSECTS <lemma ~ lbs/he/יהוה>) will be more satisfactory ---> using Match Case & Match All word Forms. But it will include results where Lord is inserted into the translation and it will include verses with "Lord God" . And the latter is difficult to exclude. You can run a separate search ("Lord God" NOT INTERSECTS <lemma ~ lbs/he/יהוה>) to determine its influence.
EDIT: If you use NRSV you get much less results because of referents e.g. lord instead of Lord, or inserted referents e.g. Gen 18.10.

This is fixed in the latest update to the NLT reverse interlinear.
