As can be seen from the following screenshot, the very same search when run on one version or "Top Bibles" only does not produce the results that come up when run on "all open Bibles" or "all Bibles":
You run a search for a Greek phrase (a 'string' in IT lingo) against a RI-enabeled English bible, which is a bad idea in itself, since RI's garble the word order. It seems you get results when all words in your phrase are used in the translation into one word - not when it's two or more English words that result. What do you see as an error: that it produces results at all, or that Logos didn't built its index over the jumbled words to produce lots of false positives for string search?
Have joy in the Lord!

Sorry - I don't understand.
The search on the right shows four hits in NASB and if you scroll down in the panel on the left you will see the other two hits in NASB which aren't shown in your screenshot.

Thanks, for the explanation. I am not sure what the solution is to this. But it is the kind of situation where what you get is not what appearances make you think you would get. In this case, I did not make the connection to mediation via a reversed interlinear and how this would affect a phrase search. Perhaps that's just the way it is, just something to know, period. I can see how some other people are bound to fall for it as well.
