Finding all stories involving a well
Hi there
Does anyone know how I can find a list of all stories involving a well in the Bible? I've tried Place:well but that doesn't work. I've also tried Place:"Jacob's well" - however that produces a single result from John 4, it would seem natural that there are a few more references that this. Am I doing something wrong ?
thanks
Paul

Do a factbook search for well. Or create a passage list.

Do a factbook search for well.
It has a Search at the bottom of the page which I chopped up** and added sense:well i.e. term:(thing:Well OR Aqueduct OR Artesian OR Cistern OR Wells OR sense:well) ---> note that the word "well" has several meanings!
.
** headwords and milestones are useless for a Bible Search and topic:Well duplicated other results.

Thanks, that produces what I want. Why would Place:well only produce one result? There are quite a few times where people meet at a well in the bible!
