Clarification:

I use AND and OR all the time. Hints are in the Xiphos docs, if I recall, but the boolean operators need to be capitalized and nothing else capitalized. To search for a phrase, use quotes. Otherwise each word is OR'd with the others. Forgetting to capitalize and can lead to searching nearly the whole Bible and appear to hang.

Hope this helps.

With the underlying lucene mechanism you can set the connector to OR or to AND. I believe that OR is the default. With ranked search this works well.

Hi,

I have the impression that the SWORD multi word search is returning some results that actually do not seem to match the search term.

For example when searching for the term "faith Jesus" in the NASB module I get 86 results.

The first result that seems invalid is Matthew 9:28:

^28 When He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, " “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”" They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”

This verse matches only part of the multi word term, namely "Jesus".

Matthew 9:29 is also returned as a result and this verse interestingly only matches the other part of the term ("faith"):

^29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, " “It shall be done to you according to your faith.”"

What is happening here? My assumption would be that only verses containing both parts of the multi word term should be returned if the searchType is multiWord (-2). Is this a bug?

The code can be found here: https://github.com/tobias-klein/node-sword-interface/blob/master/src/sword_backend/module_search.cpp#L121

Best regards,
Tobias
