A LN Search Question

Is there a way to combine a morphological search and a LN domain? I would like to see a list with all the verbs found in LN 88.289 - 318. I've tried @V AND <LN = 88.289-88.318> but it (of course) does not work. I'm rather doubting I can do this without resorting to a syntax search.

Thanks for the help.

    There are two problems with your example search:

    1. You need to use the ~ operator or the SUBSET operator when matching a range: <LN ~ 88.289-88.318>
    2. "AND" only matches within verses.  You'll need to use "WITHIN 0 WORDS" instead to match on the same word. (The "ANDEQUALS" operator does the something similar, but it doesn't work with @ sign morph searches)

    So here's a working search:

    @V WITHIN 0 WORDS <LN ~ 88.289-88.318>

    Notice that Logos returns double hits for each word in the Aligned view (one for each part of the search string) and the total count is doubled.  This is a long standing bug.  Note that Grid and Verses views only show the verses once, but still show the doubled results count.

    Wonder about Morph Search analysis for <LN ~ 88.289-88.318> ?

    Caveat: Logos 4.5b Beta 1 on Mac is a bit challenging to arrange columns in Morph Search Analysis:

    Personally learned some word(s) have two or three Louw-Nida numbers.

    Edit: Thanks Todd [8-|]

    Todd & KS4J,

    Thanks for the help. I'm doing a study where I'll want to view verbs in a bunch of LN ranges so this is very helpful. Easy to do in BibleWorks, but I'd rather do the work in Logos if possible. I must admit I'm very frustrated with the idiosyncrasies of the search syntax. Some of these "features" go all the way back to the original CD Word syntax, or at least so it seems to me. Syntactical searching seems to have fewer of the idiosyncrasies but is broken to the point of being unusable on the Mac side. Its an irony to me....great text collections but the search tools.....well not so great IMO. 

    Sorry I'm venting. Thank you for your help.
