1. Phrases affected by footnotes
Do a Books Search of Emphasized Bible for:
- "famine in" --> 6 results in 5 articles
- famine THEN in --> 6 results in 5 articles
- famine BEFORE 1-1 WORDS in ---> 26 results in 11 articles (13 results if normalized as per the above operators).
The extra results for BEFORE come from phrases like "famine､ in" or "famine|| in" where the special character is a footnote. I would also expect the Phrase search to ignore footnotes (and punctuation) and it is unexpected that THEN has the same behaviour when it is defined as BEFORE 1-1 WORDS. A search of Surface Text is a clue as it provides the expected results for the Phrase and THEN and does not affect BEFORE.
Similar behaviour can be found with "famine in" AND land and term:("famine in" AND land), where TERM coding provides the missing results.
.
2. Term results count affected by non-surface text :
A Books Search for he-ass OR "he ass" produces 300 results whilst the individual words produce 150 results.
But term:(he-ass OR "he ass") produces 247 results instead of the expected 150.
This seems to be caused by:
- BHS SESB2 (LLS:1.0.204) which has 96 results in Gloss Text, and
- "Commentary on the Old Testament" (LLS:29.2.11) which has 1 result in Footnote Text.
The combined footnote contribution is 97 and this is added to the term count instead of being normalized i.e. 150+97 = 247.
This also affects Logos 9 with ("he ass", he-ass)
Results in Surface Text behave as expected.
