Bug: Inconsistent results with Large Text in IVP DOT
Both Dictionary of the Old Testament are tagged with largetext but DOT:P does not return results for words in LARGE Text (ie. headwords) whilst DOT:HB does eg. CHRONOLOGY (which is in both books). Although i note that DOT:HB does not return results if other text is on the same line eg. CITADEL, CREATOR

Will someone be kind enough to explain to me what is the 'Largetext' search field? How does this differ from 'Headingtext' & what does it do? Many thanks in advance.

It's supposed to be a stop-gap until all the books get tagged for heading search. The indexer is supposed to automatically add a Largetext search field to the bigger text in resources. This is because larger text is usually used for headings ect. So, in theory it should work like a heading search on a book that hasn't been tagged for it. However, as you can see there are apparently some bugs with it.

If you copy and paste the "Chronology" heading in both books with some of the article text, you'll find that "Chronology" in DOT:HB is 14pt size and "Chronology" in DOT:P is in 12pt size. The largetext field indexes text larger than 12pt in that field automatically. So in this case the inconsistency is with the books.

The font for the headings that point to other articles, such as "Citadel" and "Creator" appear to be 12pt rather than 14pt.
Edit: I will point these inconsistencies out to developers.
