basic search returns unrelated results

I do not use the app regularly, but I wanted to see a list of verses where the Greek word charis was used, so I entered the word in the search box, selected charis from the list of suggestions and proceeded to search. The results did not correspond in any way I could quickly determine. I've attached a screenshot for your reference. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Steve, welcome to the user forums!

I've attached a screenshot for your reference. Any help would be appreciated.

This looks like the search index for LEB got corrupt. You might try the command reindex leb in the go box, which should make things right once it runs its course.

Thank you NB.Mick, for your reply. I agree that the search index is probably corrupt. I entered reindex leb in the 'go' box, then selected the choice "Reindex the Lexham English Bible". The timer icon circled for about two seconds then cleared. Something is preventing reindexing from occurring. What bugs me is that I could not find help at the "About indexing" page https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007914192-About-Indexing Searching reindexing there led me to a page which has your suggestion. I'm an old DOS-head, and I was hoping for a command line argument that will allow me to force a reindex. The other 'help' on that page was old classic: "re-install the app". Has it come to that? lol

The reindex command Mick suggested - and you tried - is, effectively, that command line argument you were hoping for

I recommend ensuring diagnostic logging is enabled, try the reindex command again, and post logs in a reply to this thread using the paperclip icon. Details on enabling logging are at https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027869132
