First let me apologize for not understanding how, or when, or where to post a blog. I have never in my life done this before, so it is not in my area of competence.
Thanks for responding so quickly. I have looked over everything. My biggest problem was using BHS/WIVU. Most problems have gone away using Anderson-Forbes. I ran a search on h:dbr and got 0 results from most of the lemmas on WIVU. I changed to Anderson-Forbes and got intelligible results in every case so far.
Attached are screenshots of a BHS/WIVU search which worked (zohar) and an Anderson-Forbes search, both with SBL Hebrew font in the result window. The Anderson Forbes works *much* better, but still in a couple of cases the letters are crowded or words run into each other (note line 3). In the BHS/WIVU, many of the letters are crowded or words run into each other, and lines 1, 3, 5, and 8 have misplaced vowels. If I copy and paste with SBL Hebrew into the Notes tool, sometimes the top line or 2 are gibberish. I will be using Anderson-Forbes from now on. Notice that in the font in the the window, Ezra SIL, everything is perfectly spaced and placed.
I would think changing the hit color to something darker (like red) would be simple programming, but I can live with the light orange.
One or two other questions: 1) do you have a true root search (search by Hebrew tri-literal root), or are all morphological searches by lemma?
2) Are note files attached to passages (verses, chapters, or paragraphs), or is it the responsibility of the user always to document what passage it is, so it can be found/retrieved later?
Sorry for using a year old thread--I am of an age where this is the first time I have ever posted to a blog, and I really do not know how to do it.
Thanks for the advice on the memory requirements and/or search for a new computer. I will look into it.
