Bug: Count of two results for one hit in a Broad Search

Dave Hooton

lemma.g:πρεσβύτερος NOT (sense:="Christian elder" OR sense:="elder leader" OR sense:="forefather ⇔ elder") will give two results in Luke 15:25 whilst only one word is highlighted in the verse.

This happens with BROAD matching and only in bibles with reverse interlinears.

The same problem arises with BROAD matching for lemma.g:πρεσβύτερος.

Thanks for the concise repro. I can reproduce this, so I've brought this thread to the attention of the search team.

When broad matching is turned on, one of the things that happens is that the search is expanded to lemma.g:πρεσβύτερος OR πρεσβύτερος. This allows us to find lemmas that aren't tagged as lemmas, such as those within commentaries or lexicons.

However, a side-effect of that in reverse-interlinears is that words where the lemma and manuscript form are the same end up reporting two results.

Unfortunately, the search highlight covers the entire interlinear word-block - hiding the fact that there are two matches.

My report arose from this thread where the user eventually modified his query to  lemma.g:πρεσβύτερος NOT (sense:="Christian elder" OR sense:="elder leader" OR sense:="forefather ⇔ elder") but I was getting different results until he revealed that it was a Broad search!

He was clearly expecting results for the lemma in a Bible Search, so I doubt the efficacy of broadening lemma to include manuscript. I'm sure that users can do that for themselves where required.
