When doing a Bible word study on “Portion” I see that 2 hits in 2 verses are found in the Lexham English Bible. Upon clicking on that link the search pops up and finds 0 hits.
A similar mismatch-phenomenon occurs when I click the ESV link. Why the discrepancy?


and now the ESV one:

    On the Lexham English Bible, there is only content for Romans through Revelation at present. This one is at present a NT-only Bible; we hope to add the OT at a later date. To clarify, we've only worked on the NT, the OT translation portion has not commenced.

    We have drafts of Matthew and Mark that we're working on incorporating into the resource and the underlying reverse interlinear. My guess is that we'll release the balance in two chunks, the first chunk being translation and reverse interlinear for Matthew, Mark and John; the second chunk being the translation/reverse interlinear for Luke-Acts. (or it may be Matthew & Mark, then Luke-Acts + John, or perhaps three chunks with John in the middle ... just unsure at this point) But I have no estimation on what that time frame will be.

    I think Jacob's problem wasn't the scarcity of hits in the LEB, but
    the difference in counts between the Bible Word Study window and the Search Results window--a problem which isn't just restricted to the LEB, as the
    ESV shows the problem, too.

    My guess is that (whether rightly or wrongly) one is searching Bible-only text, and the other is searching all text (so headings, footnotes, etc.). But that's just a guess at this point.

    Update: Yep, just searched LEB for "portion" using basic search, and got two hits — both in footnotes. Did a Bible search and had no hits. So the "textual searches" from BWS appears to be searching the entire resource, not just Bible text in the resource (for Bibles).

    Is that a bug? Seems like it should be restricted to the main text.
