Esarhaddon

Member Posts: 756 ✭✭

What am I doing wrong in this? I type in Esarhaddon and I get one result found in 2kings 19:37, when in actuality, I should be seeing 3 results, for instance in 2kings 19:37, Ezra 4:2, and Isaiah 37:38.

Here's a screenshot…

    "-" is your problem.

    Try "person:Esarhaddon" or "Esarhaddon OR Esar-haddon"

    I'd of assumed (incorrectly) that the little clock would fix it (narrow search vs broadened … .removal of dashes etc). Vs substituting letters (as an earlier post issue).

    It is unique though, that the Logos Search will not pick up both spellings of Esarhaddon and Esar-haddon and list them, for example, we can do a search for God and list the search as god and it will pick up both, Gen 1:1 and Ex 7:1. Is there a particular reason why this is so?

    person:Esarhaddon should pick up all spellings as it is looking for a Logos supplied tag. This works even across languages.

    Looking for Esar-haddon without the tag requires a computer parsing routine that only recognizes common forms that work for many words e.g. it would recognize Esar-haddon's as the possessive is standard (actually I'm not sure how it handles proper nouns but the principle is correct). But alternative spellings are outside normal parsing rules.

    Thank you M.J. Smith for your explanation. You are light years ahead of me, so I'm happy you and others are about to clarify things.
