Why the difference in results between an inline search for 'Tobit' in the works of Luther & an All text search in All Resources?

  • Inline search yields 15 hits
  • All Text search yields on 2.

My All Text query is luther NEAR tobit

    You first search asks for any occurence of "tobit" in the works of Luther, basicall when he refers to the book or the person. Your second search asks for occurrences of "tobit" in close proximity to the word "luther", such as when some other author writes "Luther referred 15 times to Tobit".
