I cannot query words of Christ with a Greek lemma and get an answer. Logos always reads "no results

Whenever I search the words of Christ with a Greek lemma, the results are always "no result". For example pater returns no results. "father" in English returns 215 hits. This is a problem. I am running 42.1. Sure would like to clear up this mystery.

Thanks Bradley (not sure if I should praise your memory or your bug-tracking system for recalling that Rosie found this bug 15 years ago…)!

@John Ryan the workaround is not to use the Words-of-Christ search field, but to query for lemma.g:πατήρ INTERSECTS speaker:Jesus which does work and gives nearly 200 verses.

I can confirm this and I think it's a bug. The issue seems to be with the Words-of-Christ search field, that seems to preclude finding the lemma even though it's in the reverse interlinear data (and is clearly found when searching "All Bible Text" instead of WoC). By the way, it's the same in NIV 2011 as in NKJV - EDIT running 42.0.407 on Win 11.

The "Words of Christ" field is only applied to text in the Bible itself, not to any data included from a reverse interlinear.

It's a bug that the Search UI lets you select this (inapplicable) field for a lemma search.

Thanks. This is exactly what I was needing.
