Requesting a description value of personification in figure of speech includes the description value of anti-personification i.e. a partial value brings up an unrelated value I cannot easily screen for.

@Jason Stone (Logos) This did not get a useful answer as it needs a response on why the false positive.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    There's some work that needs to be done in Search for how hyphens are handled in substrings.

    In the meantime you can do exact search strings like this:

    figureOfSpeech:(description:=Personification)

    The description is correct. Changing the search string will yield different results: figureofSpeech:(description:"personification")

    Huh? I was asking why anti-personification was returned when I asked for personification i.e. I got a false positive i.e. a search question not a resource question.
