L/V 10+ Tip of the Day #163 Search result count with proximity operator

Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10+ Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.

This tip is inspired by the forum posts: BUG? - Odd Search Results - Logos Forums and Morph search - double verse results (count) (This before that) original language - Logos Forums

Proximity searches will always return counts for both words in the search.

You don't need to remember this detail; the fact that they receive separate colors should remind you that they are separate hits to the search engine. The fact that the result count is exactly twice the verse count is another reminder.

Yes. But the 4 CHAR spacing is more suited to the segments in a Hebrew bible. An RI will split these into separate words, so the spacing needs to be 2 WORDS.

Thanks Dave. That can be a big help when building the search argument (as opposing to "stealing" it as I did.) I hadn't really that part through.
