Why is this search highlighting "word"?
I think it's due to having AND inside a list.
As per https://wiki.logos.com/Search_HELP#Proximity (section 5)
Logical operators within a list will give incorrect results e.g. (God AND love), Jesus is treated as (God AND love) AND Jesus
Ah yes ... I'd used AND rather than a simple space because of another problem.
Space = AND = the same issue.
I think you mean "rule of faith" NEAR tradition NEAR scripture i.e. NEAR tradition AND NEAR scripture
"rule of faith" NEAR (tradition, scripture) will allow it to be NEAR tradition OR NEAR scripture.
