Cited By Tool

Maybe I'm not quite getting how the Cited By Tool improvements in Logos 6 are supposed to work, but I often (usually) get different results in the Cited By Tool than I do when I click the "Search" option at the end of an entry. In the screenshot below, I see 10 results from the Bible Background collection in the Cited By Tool (searching Micah 1:10). When I click to "Search" at the bottom of that entry, the resulting search shows 13 results in 9 articles. Anyone know why the result counts are different? This happens most of the time for me.

As a rule of thumb, any time a list ends with an option to run a search, the search results shown above are limited by count or space rather than always displaying the full results.

Understood, but why are the result counts different? Even after I expand the search results using "more >>" until I am showing all of them, they are still different than the results when doing a search. And, when I compare the lists side-by-side, they are different.

The results number is the number of positive matches as the search is executed. When the actual selected results match, as they do in this case, then the difference is in the Search that was requested and precisely how it is executed. As we aren't shown the actual search running behind the Cited By tool, we can't state precisely how they differ ... actually Dave and a few others might but I can't.
