Bug 4.1 RC 2: Phase search returns incorrect results when due to hover text.

Mark Barnes

To reproduce:

1. Search for the phrase "new song" in the ISBE.
2. You'll see that most of the results actually are "NEB Song". This isn't a result of matching all word forms, but because the letters NEB have the hovertext "New English Bible".

This shouldn't match "new song", because clearly the phrase "new song" doesn't occur here.

That happens with "All Text". You need the Field "Surface Text" to avoid searching in footnotes and popup abbreviations.  The issue then lies with books that do have search fields or do not have "Surface Text".

Thanks Dave. I understand the workaround, but we shouldn't have to workaround.

After looking more closely, I agree.

In ESVSB  there is a common phrase "the ESV Study Bible",
where ESV has
hover text "English Standard Version".  I get results searching for "English
Study" but "the English" does not return results in that
phrase!

In TDNT "the more common mid., is a new" occurs in Vol 1, p.19, where mid has hover text "middle". If I
search for:-

• "common middle" there is no result, but
• common BEFORE 1 words middle produces the hit, whilst
• "middle
  is" produces hits (which are the same as middle BEFORE 1 word is)

The fault lies with the phrase search as we expect the result to match each word without any intervening words!

BTW I'm sure you understood that "the issue then lies with books that do have search fields" should have been "the issue then lies with books that do not have search fields"!
