Analysis view of Search

When running a search on a word in a bible and then view the results in analysis format; if the word is capitalised for any reason then 2 entries are in the results. One for the lower case and another for the Capitalised.

is there any way of combining these into one section of the results table.

Thank you in advance

David, I believe the only time you will see this kind of sorting is when you drag the Results column heading to the open area above the results so that you are now sorting by result. See example below:

Otherwise you should see the results with capitalized and uncapitalized forms intermixed:

Thank you Mark,

That's true, but if I am looking for e.g. words used in a passage by actual frequency using @A OR @C OR @D OR @I OR @J OR @N OR @P OR @R OR @T OR @V OR @X then the capitalised uncpaitalised may be many lines apart in the listing. It then becomes easy to miss the real word total.

Thanks

OK. It helps to know what type of search you were performing.

Are you sorting your results? How? By lemma? That seems to group properly.

Maybe a screen shot would help as I am not sure what you are actually doing and what the issue is. Sorry, I'm slow on Mondays.

Thanks again. Yes by lemma does help. I will have to think and test a little to make sure it solves the problem completely.

You see I am a getting a bit slow every day. That's a symptom of getting older!

The underlying task is to get a list of words used in a passage; could be a whole book, by frequency of use. In studying a book I have found it useful to look at this kind of data to analyse and then sub analyse to geat a better understanding.

Idealy the analysis would look at frequency of strings, phrases but I don't think I can do this in Logos.

There are software packages to do this but it would be handy to have these tools in the one package.

Thanks for you help.

The task is a good one. Phrases can only be done by searching for them directly. No wild-card searches which is basically what you are doing now. I do search for phrases in a book I am studying once I see them occurring more than once and seeming to have some significance. But I have to discover them first. The great thing about Logos is it lets me do this and so many other things as I realize the need for them.

BTW: in English a phrase search is simple. Enclose the phrase in quotes in a Bible Search or Basic Search. It isn't any more difficult in Hebrew or Greek but it is easier to start from the Hebrew and Greek texts in this case.

I agree completely, but having done the first search bt reading I like to confirm if possible that I haven't missed something. Its that age and eyes thing again.
