Search question

Wanting to find verses which contain both "Lord" and "LORD", I typed this:

LORD AND (Lord OR lord)

I deliberately made the search case sensitive.

It didn't produce any results, so I've made a mistake. Enclosing LORD in parentheses didn't solve it. A fuzzy search gave me verses such as Psa 110:1—"The LORD said to my Lord..." which is what I want.

What's faulty with my search term?

    Search for "Lord" finds "LORD" when Match Case option selected - Logos Forums

    I don't have time to research it at the moment but I think you'd need to search by sense.

    This is because "LORD" is typically actually "Lord" but with a "Small Caps" style applied to it, and there is no mechanism for searching by font styling.

    You could do a search in all your Bibles for "LORD" to find a Bible that uses this pattern. Then you could run your search there.

    Alternatively, if you are using a Bible with a reverse interlinear you could use this search instead (I think this is correct): (lemma.h:יהוה INTERSECTS Lord) AND ((Lord OR lord) NOT INTERSECTS lemma.h:יהוה)

    Because your string doesn't pick up his example (different lemmas) I played around and found that (Lord INTERSECTS person:God) AND (Lord NOT INTERSECTS person:God) appears to work.

    Bible Search suggestion in a Bible with Reverse Interlinear (e.g. KJV) is: (lemma.h:יהוה OR lemma.h:אָדוֹן) INTERSECTS Lord whose result highlighting shows which lemma was matched:
