The wiki on the new broad search setting says it  "will incorporate datatypes, headwords and words with values that are equivalent to your value. For example: “God the Spirit”, “Comforter” and “Paraclete” would be used in addition to “Holy Spirit”."

Yet when I run a search of "spirit" in the gospel of John it doesn't return other forms (i.e. Advocate from John 15:26)

Am I misunderstanding how this is to work?

    You need to do something like topic:"Holy Spirit". Not just "Holy Spirit".

    That was dependent on the introductory comment: "Select Reference matching to impact results from a query comprising a single datatype term."

    But I can understand why you read it that way, so I'll make a simple change!
