diatheke -b ESV -k Merodach<br>
gives no matches!<br>
<br>
diatheke -b ESV -s lucene Merodach<br>
gives 5 matches.<br>
<br>
The actual instances are as follows: (omitting the references)<br>
2 matches to "Evil-merodach"<br>
2 matches to "Merodach-baladan"<br>
1 match to "Merodach"<br>
<br>
diatheke syntax help includes:<br>
<br>
Valid search_type values are: phrase (default), regex, multiword, attribute,<br>
lucene, multilemma.<br>
<br>
If the default search type really is "phrase", surely one ought to expect<br>
its omission to be equivalent to specifiying it explcitly?<br>
<br>
diatheke -b ESV -s phrase Merodach<br>
gives 5 matches<br>
<br>
Is it that the syntax help is lying when it tells us that search type phrase<br>
is (default) ?<br>
<br>
Observations made with diatheke.exe version 4.7 as supplied with Xiphos<br>
4.0.4 (Windows).<br>
