Simple search

Roy Mason

I am trying to do a search on "providence".  The search also gives me all the occurrences of "provide", which is a root of providence.  I get so many hits on provide that the search results are pretty much useless.  How do I get it to search for providence only.

Hi Roy - and welcome to the forums

You need to deselect the option to "match all word forms" in the search panel

For more information on this type of thing see https://wiki.logos.com/Detailed_Search_Help#Matching_Case_or_All_Word_Forms (and the rest of the article)
