What am I doing wrong in this? I type in Esarhaddon and I get one result found in 2kings 19:37, when in actuality, I should be seeing 3 results, for instance in 2kings 19:37, Ezra 4:2, and Isaiah 37:38.
Here's a screenshot…
"-" is your problem.
Try "person:Esarhaddon" or "Esarhaddon OR Esar-haddon"
Got it. Thank you Aaron for steering me straight on this. Very helpful.
I'd of assumed (incorrectly) that the little clock would fix it (narrow search vs broadened … .removal of dashes etc). Vs substituting letters (as an earlier post issue).
It is unique though, that the Logos Search will not pick up both spellings of Esarhaddon and Esar-haddon and list them, for example, we can do a search for God and list the search as god and it will pick up both, Gen 1:1 and Ex 7:1. Is there a particular reason why this is so?
person:Esarhaddon should pick up all spellings as it is looking for a Logos supplied tag. This works even across languages.
Looking for Esar-haddon without the tag requires a computer parsing routine that only recognizes common forms that work for many words e.g. it would recognize Esar-haddon's as the possessive is standard (actually I'm not sure how it handles proper nouns but the principle is correct). But alternative spellings are outside normal parsing rules.
Thank you M.J. Smith for your explanation. You are light years ahead of me, so I'm happy you and others are about to clarify things.

My NT calendar reading is showing completed when it hasn't. Any ideas as to why this happened?
I need to include an image in Notes and a Sermon. Yet it doesn't seem to work to just copy and paste it. On the notes there is an official "image" button, but when I click it it wants me to upload it in a way that looks more formal than just copying and pasting. This all said I have three questions: If I do upload an image…
The anniversary of the release of the 2025 libraries has come and gone and now the year end sale is on, but no sight of 2026 libraries. Is Logos still using a two year schedule in the subscription era or is there just a delay?
I did research on a verse since I wanted to quickly access a specific book which I knew referred to the verse, but it was not listed in my commentaries. So then I sorted it by author, but the author's name didn't appear. So I then opened the book from my library and searched for the verse in the book and it occurred 40x. I…
I've created a custom reading plan by copy and paste from Excel. However, when it shows when to start reading, it does not allow me to select on which days of the week i wish to read (I want to choose Mon-Fri only). E.g. a standard Bible reading plan when I edit it says: Read <plan> in <bible> each Mo/Tu…, starting <date>…
