I posted this last night, but when I edited it, it probably deleted it.

Anyway, I am not sure if this is a Bug, I don't know how to do it anymore, or I have beef with this update. The technical notes state:

Search

  • Added auto-switch to precise search for numerous scenarios when executing a search.
    • All Search will use Precise Search when:
      • Query is in Greek or Hebrew
      • Quotation marks are included around the entire query
    • Book Search will use Precise Search when:
      • Query is in Greek or Hebrew
      • Quotation marks are included around the entire query

This is a nice feature when I am performing certain tasks, but it is not nice when I want to use a Greek or Hebrew word within a Smart Search query. The reason is that if I use a Greek or Hebrew word, I now can no longer use Smart Search.

For example:

Question:
Would σπλάγχνον be another Greek word for love?

Pop-up Message:
Using Precise search because you searched in a Biblical language.

Result:
Random resources that contain words within the query.

Now if I try to switch it back to Smart Search and search again, it will automatically switch back to Precise Search no matter what I do. This is either a bug, I am now doing it wrong, or I now do not like this update.
