The short, useless answer is "I don't have any good explanation."<br>
<br>
TischMorph:<br>
When I search lemma:G3841, I get 10 verses:<br>
2Cor 6:18; Rev 1:8; 4:8; 11:17; 15:3; 16:7; 16:14; 19:6; 19:15;
21:22<br>
Of that, Rev 16:14, 19:15 are included because they are ref'd by
the same Strong's but in the form παντοκρατορος.<br>
<br>
When I search παντοκρατωρ, I get:<br>
lucene: nothing?<br>
phrase, regex: The usual 8 verses (above, excluding the 2
alternates).<br>
Certainly, I expect lucene search should cough up the same 8.<br>
<br>
When I adjust the search term to the more general παντοκρ*, then
lucene search gives me what I expect. ???<br>
<br>
I have no idea how you're getting Matt/Mark/2Tim/Tit/1Pet
references. I don't see that.<br>
<br>
However, when I use diatheke:<br>
</font><font face="monospace">diatheke -b TischMorph -s lucene -k
παντοκρατωρ | sed -e 's/8R/8 ; R/' -e 's/II/; II/' | semis | sort</font><font
face="FreeSerif"><br>
("sed" is to fix some rough output from diatheke)<br>
then I get the usual 8 verses.<br>
<br>
In 2TGreek:<br>
lucene: nothing?<br>
regex: The usual 8.<br>
phrase: The usual 8 plus Mat 8:17; Mark 13:35; 2Tim 1:5, Tit
3:9?!? But no 1Pet reference.<br>
This is freakish.<br>
<br>
Again, adjust search to use παντοκρ*, I now get a proper set
including the extras from </font><font face="FreeSerif">παντοκρατορος</font><font
face="FreeSerif"> (10 verses).<br>
How is this distinguished?<br>
<br>
I cannot begin to explain any of this. Surely, lucene search
should be returning the proper set on a no-wildcard single word.
This suggests to me that there is something funny about how the
lucene index is being handled.<br>
"Exact phrase" adding verses that are manifestly not to be
included is a different sort of problem.<br>
<br>
The bottom line for Xiphos is that it turns off Greek Accents and
uses StripText on search terms (for consistency of "no accents
that would create false differences"), then executes the search.
What Xiphos displays is what the engine sends back. Xiphos has no
more control than that.<br>
<br>
I'm thoroughly mystified by all of this, especially since I can
see that I (being in Xiphos' code) have nothing additional I can
do about how the search behaves. The code just prepares the search
terms and hands it off for execution.<br>
<br>
I rebuilt lucene indices to ensure there was nothing funny from a
possibly old index generation.<br>
<br>
How can παντοκρατωρ and παντοκρ* produce different lucene results?<br>
