Clause searching God and love gives only 2 NT examples

The clause searching feature seemed quite helpful for a project I'm working on. I typed in subject:God verb:to love as in the example on the www.logos.com/feature page which lists several results. I got two for the NT, only two. What am I doing wrong? I got none in the OT.

    Okay, sorry, I found other examples of this same question. Logos really needs to fix that bad example on their features page.

    However, even running the subject:God the Father verb:to love gives very limited results. It leaves out Hebrews 12:6, whom the Lord loves He chastens. In running the search in the OT I get 0 results for subject:God, subject:God the Father, and subject:Lord  all run with verb:to love.

    What gives?

    From what I understand the clause search is not yet "live" for OT references.  The data set is not yet connected for OT results.

    Logos 5, Windows & Android perfect together....

    It also seems pretty pathetic that a search on subject:Lord verb:to love in the NT does not even return a single result, even when Heb 12:6 specifically says "Lord loves" in the text.

    If the clause search is so poorly tagged at this point, that on a very common and central search as God and loves gets untrustworthy results, why should we trust it on any other search? Maybe by Logos 7 or Logos 8 they might get this right. Considering the current inadequacies of this feature, help me understand why we should even waste more time on it in the next year, if It's current testable results are untrustworthy in a small thing, why should we trust it with a more important search?

    In this case, as you note in the first post in this thread, it does return a hit for this verse if "God" is the subject.

    Right-clicking on Lord in that verse shows that the word is tagged as "Yahweh" which probably explains why it returns a hit with God as the subject as opposed to Lord.

    As discussed in http://community.logos.com/forums/t/58327.aspx there is work to be done here!
