Lorinda H. M. Hoover Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I'm working with a Jeremiah text, and I'm wanting to do some work with the key verbs from Jeremiah's call in 1:10. They are: נתש נתצ אבד הרס בנה נטע Only twice do they all appear together, but they appear frequently throughout Jeremiah in smaller groups. Is there a way to have Accordance provide those verses where two or more of the words appear together? I began doing the compiling by hand, by searching for each word separately and then pasting my results into a word processing document with the idea of building a table. But I'm wondering if there is an easier way. Thanks, Lorinda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 If you create a construct with all these lemmas in one column, you can duplicate the column (option drag) and add a within of 40 words. If you also add a Not Agree in lemma you remove those where the same word is repeated, and I get 16 verses with 49 hits, at least two per verse.

Lorinda H. M. Hoover Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Many thanks, Helen! I figured there had to be a way; I just couldn't get my head around it. I had forgotten you could include more than one word in a single lemma box in the constructs. Lorinda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Weaks Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Or, if you want to be able to specify within a phrase, clause, sentence, verse as well, you can do it without a construct window and use simple boolean: Here's the text I typed out to paste into the search box: (ofn <AND> hnb) <OR> (ofn <AND> srh) <OR> (ofn <AND> dba) <OR> (ofn <AND> xtn) <OR> (ofn <AND> vtn) <OR> (hnb <AND> srh) <OR> (hnb <AND> dba) <OR> (hnb <AND> xtn) <OR> (hnb <AND> vtn) <OR> (srh <AND> dba) <OR> (srh <AND> xtn) <OR> (srh <AND> vtn) <OR> (dba <AND> xtn) <OR> (dba <AND> vtn) <OR> (xtn <AND> vtn) And here's the changes of reversing text I had to make so that it'd paste in correctly: )nfo <AND> bnh( <OR> )nfo <AND> hrs( <OR> )nfo <AND> abd( <OR> )nfo <AND> ntx( <OR> )nfo <AND> ntv( <OR> )bnh <AND> hrs( <OR> )bnh <AND> abd( <OR> )bnh <AND> ntx( <OR> )bnh <AND> ntv( <OR> )hrs <AND> abd( <OR> )hrs <AND> ntx( <OR> )hrs <AND> ntv( <OR> )abd <AND> ntx( <OR> )abd <AND> ntv( <OR> )ntx <AND> ntv( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 You can set the Search window to a Clause or other field as well as link to the Construct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen, I know that to be the case... your hard-coding in a "within 49 words" somehow cause a lapse thinking through how it works on the Search Window Options side of things. I tend to always do things in the Search Box instead of a Construct window when possible. I think the main reason is a love for all things "text" and I save search criteria in my notes as I do research. Plus, I sometimes have search criteria compiled programmatically, which can't be done in the construct window. But this search is a great example of one that you can figure out how to do it in the Search Window, but it's easier to create in a construct window.
