BUG: Opentext command line syntax search fails

Harry Hahne

I tried using the context menu to search for instances of a particular classification in the Opentext Greek New Testament and it failed to produce any results. For example, if you right click on a sp marker and select from the menu Specifier, then Search All Open Resources, it enters this command <OpenTextSyntactic = Specifier>, but nothing is found.

You are getting that from the Opentext Clause Analysis, not the bible. That type of resource cannot be searched, which is why "search this resource" is missing from the menu. You can search the OpenText Bible for a number of syntactic terms, but not specifiers.

Then,
why does that option show up on the menu? I get no results, even when I
select Search Entire Library. The fact that the option is there on the
context menu implies that the search is possible. It is strange that all of this information is tagged in this resource, but you cannot search it through regular searches. Apparently you can search this type of resource only through the Syntax search, which is more time consuming to set up. The most convenient place to search for syntactic features is from the Clause Analysis.

If I open the Opentext.org GNT, I still cannot search for <OpenTextSyntactic = Qualifier>. It appears that the tagging on the Opentext.org GNT is only on clauses and larger units (such as subject, predicator), but not word groups or words.

and if you wanted to find where βίβλος is the Subject you would have to construct a Basic Search like:-

<OpenTextSyntactic = Subject> BEFORE  3 words <Lemma = lbs/el/βίβλος>

It gives the right answer but the Syntax query is simple and you are not guessing the proximity (at least 2 words).
