Help with Morph search in the DSS Sectarian Literature

I having a hard time getting a proper search done with the above mentioned product. I ran a search for the word שׂפה in version 3 and get 43 entries; however, in 4.0, I don't get a single hint. I am assuming that this is a bug that needs fixing, but maybe there is something I am doing correctly.

If I remember correctly Logos currently has a bug with Morph searches in texts where the Lemmas have vowel points.

There are no vowel points in the DSS. They are unpointed texts.

I guess that you are experiencing a different bug then. I can't double check though, because I don't have the DSS lit.

Are you just looking for the word in other versions ?

This material is just the sectarian texts, there are no other versions. The Biblical Texts from Qumran haven't been published in Logos yet. I am working on a rather large lexical study, and I am working on every passage of Hebrew that uses this word.

I am not getting anywhere with this search in 4.0.

Bradley, do you know what is going on with this?

Adam,

This is very strange.

Morph search works for some words and not others. I'm having a hard time trying to find a common factor.

It appears that Sin and Shin have problems (this may have to do with the point above them - in some it is a separate character in the morph search dialogue). As do, beth, dalet, kaph (all of which appear with a dagesh forte in the lemma - which is not always correct).
