1. Run a clause search on subject:Jesus verb:to say
2. Note that Mt 17:12 appears 3 times while the verb say occurs once. Is that because there are 3 clauses in the verse and the search works on the basis of syntactic clauses?

No, it's because you're displaying the results in Analysis view.
Analysis view displays one row for each unique combination of values in the displayed columns (i.e., the cross product). In this case, there are three Indirect Objects (Peter, John, and James) so you get three rows: one for each indirect object. This approach was chosen because it easily allows grouping and sorting on any column.
In a future release, we may collapse the values down to one row, and only create "duplicates" when it's strictly necessary for grouping. (E.g., if you grouped by indirect object, this row might appear three times, once in each group.)

That makes perfect sense - and makes a number of additional results make sense. Thanks.
