Confused by different search results

I did a basic Bible search in the 1900 KJV with <Lemma = lbs/el/καί> and came up with 9272 in 5225 verses. When doing a Bible Word Study on the same lemma I get 5641 hits in the "Lemma" section and 5163 hits in the "Translation" section. Is this an error in Logos or are these different numbers indication different things? Thanks!

The BWS Translation is reporting verses and not hits but it still varies from search results. I don't know what the Lemma section is doing! Even if I look at a word with fewer occurrences - τίς - I can't work it out (esp. Lemma section).

We need Faithlife to comment.

Thanks for taking a look Dave.

It reports the count of verses that have a translation. Untranslated instances of the word are not counted in this section.

I don't know what the Lemma section is doing!

I'm investigating this.

It's (incorrectly) double-counting some verses. This will be fixed in an upcoming release.

I'm also not certain that that's the most useful thing it could be doing, so I've opened another case to inquire whether it should show the number of instances not just the number of verses.

I certainly hope the decision will be made to count the instances rather than just verses in future revisions of the software.
