Clause Search: Can't Search for Church

I can search person:Church at xxxx which mainly finds references to "you", "brothers" at xxxxxxx where the location is generally assumed from the Epistle. But I cannot specify person:Church, mainly referring to lemma:ἐκκλησία. There also needs to be an accommodation for "saints" as both these words seem not to be included with "Church at xxxxx".

Bug:

Church of Philippian Women seems to be derived from the erroneous hit at Acts 16:13, but should be titled Church at Philippi after the two hits in Colossians (1:2, 2:5) are also removed!

I wouldn't necessarily expect Church to be a person, but I would expect to be able to search for subject:church or object:church (referring to lemma:ἐκκλησία) which we cannot.

Church (as in ἐκκλησία) is essentially a group of people, like tribe of Benjamin, or followers of Jesus. So person does fit the Biblical use of the term (even if it doesn't fit the English language use of the term).

OK, but it should also work for subject and object.

I will report this to the correct Department.
