is there an easily memorable rule for when to use AND or INTERSECTS when doing a search?

    Intersects is where both parts of the search intersect on the same word, so lemma.g:αγάπη INTERSECTS love will find that Greek word translated that way. And is for finding both terms close to each other. So faith AND love will return 1 Corinthians 13.

    thank you

    I was looking for lemmas all having the same morphology. I was told to use INTERSECTS.

    but recently I was doing a lot of inline searches where I had a lemma AND morphology, and that seemed to work.

    thanks again

    I appreciate this
