A user asked: Have any of you tried to get Logos to provide the number of occurrences for all words in a particular Bible book?
Forum tidbit
Harry Hahne asked:
“Why does a search for "Lord" find "LORD" when the Match Case option selected? I am searching the NASB 1995 with Match Case selected.
It appears that Logos treats a search for "LORD" in the Old Testament not as all capitals, but as if it were Lord, but with a different font or character attribute. But I suspect most users would think of this word as all capitals, particularly since the context menu shows the selection as LORD, not Lᴏʀᴅ. “
MJ Smith responded:
Wikipedia:
"In typography, small caps (short for "small capitals") are lowercase characters typeset with glyphs that resemble uppercase letters (capitals) but reduced in height and weight, close to the surrounding lowercase letters or text figures."
Dave Hooton added:
Where a word is in small caps Logos detects it as lower case, and makes the first letter of some words a large cap e.g. LORD, the first word of a phrase in NASB95 e.g. Ro 10:8. Some other NASB95 words are treated this way e.g. HIM in Ro 10:11. So "Match Case" will not distinguish Lord and LORD, but does distinguish lord. FL made this distinction for LORD (in bibles) when users complained it was not detected by using LORD.
