Simple task that I seem to be failing at

MJ. Smith

find all occurrences of the word "ni" - no other word forms; even with matching case I can't get rid of NIV's
identify the language of each occurrence of "ni" - I expect Gothic, Latin, Spanish . . .

Even with "Match all word forms" turned on, I don't get hits for "NIV" when searching for "ni".

Are you searching in resources (Basic Search) or filtering the Library (or building a collection)?

I wish my software was as well trained as yours ... I'm on beta 3 ... same results with and without quotation marks.

I get the same results as MJ on 8.8 SR1

I get the same result as Bradley in 8.8 SR-1, irrespective of Search engine (via Set Use New Search Engine).

With no Search options checked:-

ni BEFORE niv shows that they are treated as different words.
niv BEFORE niv's shows that they are (correctly) treated as different words
I don't get any results for ni AND NIV's - showing they are different words

Do you get a result for NIV's in 1 and 2 Thessalonians UBCS?

In AYBD, do you get a result for ni in the Malta article (where it has NIV's)?

My guess is bad indexing of the Thessalonians UBCS

find all occurrences of the word "ni"

Here are several of them:

The Knights Who Say "Ni!" - Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

I've created a case to investigate this.

I get this result in the EEC commentary on 1&2 Samuel. There it's caused by the word 'NIV84', while the word 'NIV' behaves appropriately.

All the errors I've seen do seem to be related to the hovertext (i.e. I've not yet seen an error that doesn't have hovertext).
