Searching

Martin J Webster

In L4 I did a search in the Psalms (KJV Interlinear) on 'bless*' and get 55 hits. However there are many more occurrences of the word in Psalms! For example Psal 1:1 is not listed and Psa 103 only lists one occurrence, where there are infact seven!

Has anybody else had a similar experience? Or am I doing something wrong in setting up this simple search?

Thanks,

Martin

I'm not sure how you're getting 55 hits. But when I do a Bible search of All Bible Text in Psalms in the King James Version with "Match all word forms" (in the menu under the magnifying glass), unchecked I get 44 results; with that checked I get 99 results in 90 verses.

Match all word forms checked catches "blessed, blessing" whereas unchecked it will only catch the exact word "bless."
