[request] Hidden results in search taxing old memory (of the chip off the old block variety)

The "Luther" hit is at the beginning of the article so those could be footnotes containing "beloved disciple"? If you search on "surface text" do those hits still appear?

I did an Everything search. The highlighting in on linked references - no footnotes. I don't own the complete works of Luther so the links are dead.But I think you solved it ... if I click on the link it brings up the title which, of course, has another reference to Luther.

I'd thought of footnotes but I hadn't thought of links as adding "invisible" results.

Do those results appear if you do a normal search of "All Resources" in Basic Search for Footnote Text? Do they appear when you select Surface Text?

They don't appear in either the surface text or footnote text. And I don't see any option for link text.

Do you want this to be closed?

I'd prefer that tagging data be selectable like footnotes as they provide significant noise in the results that are not in the text. But its not a high enough priority to fight now so it can be closed.

Search in "Surface" text to avoid getting hits from footnotes.

The problem is not footnotes. It is the text in the links - where the text itself readings AE but Faithlife has created a mouse over/link to Martin Luther's Works American Edition. This causes the link to be treated as a match to "Martin Luther"/

"AE" is a popup marker, where the text of the popup contains the word Luther. (You can see this by hovering over it or clicking it.) Searching "All Text" will find "AE" due to this popup text. This is by design. (You can also find these popups by searching for "American Edition", "Jaroslav", "Philadelphia", etc.)

To exclude these results from searches, search in "Surface Text" (not "All Text"), or search for surface:Luther

To find only these results in searches, search in "Footnote Text", or search for footnote:Luther

(The indexer doesn't distinguish between footnotes and popups, hence the use of "footnote" to describe these matches.)

Er .. ah... that's not what I get. What am I doing wrong?

"AE" isn't in the "Footnote Text", it's only in the "Surface Text". Searching "Footnote Text" for "AE" will return 0 results.
