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.

Hello everyone, so as I've listened to various podcasts and been reading up on Artificial Intelligence to learn more, one comment that keeps coming up is this concern (and it is coming up from people who have been involved in the development of AI over the last 50 years!): AI may be developing its "intelligence" faster…
“Some people see things as they are and ask 'Why?' Others...” I'm probably, sadly, more in that first group. Can't help but wonder how a reverse interlinear assigns 2 different transliterations for such similar constructions in Zc 5.2. Even in English, “it's length” and “it's width” are similar; but it's harder to conceive…
Is there a way to print out the results of a Study Assistant discussion?
Does anyone know how to fix, or by pass, a Script Error in BibleSoft One Touch? I realize that BibleSoft has been out of business for a few years, but I have been using the product since 1991 (34 years) and I have one huge library of Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries etc. that I can't access - and they are all sitting on…
Is there any way to sync my iPad logos with my desktop logos? I study on my desktop but like to read in the evening on my iPad. Is there any way to sync the two so I can pick up where I've left off in a book?
