Search “go” find. ‘been”

When searching for the word “go”’ the word “been” also appears in results in the NT - using Nas95 and also Esvs— did not check any other versions

Dick, are you doing a "Flex" search or a "Word" search? It should indicate so just to the left of the Search Entry text box.

 

If you're doing a flex search then searching for the word "go" will also return results that are related words, like "been". If you only want to see "go" then you should use a Word search.

I guess I am uncertain how 'been' (to be) is related to go? If I reverse the search and do a flex search for 'been', I do not get 'go' - 

 

[Flex] (4146 total words)

 

Number of different forms = 8:

(Triple-click a form to see its occurrences)

 

go = 1210

went = 1175

been = 905

going = 293

Go = 251

gone = 207

goes = 111

Going = 3

While that's true, this case seems a little off. The usual thing is to handle cases where the forms are inflected from the same stem and so on. And yes it goes sideways in a number of ways. But this is a different verb. My guess is that if this is correct it is being done be "been" is being treated as some kind of auxilliary to "go" for things like past continuous, like "had been going", but then I don't search in English all that much and I'm thus not familiar with its quirks.

I would check out where those 905 cases are - not all of them - but a few representative examples. I can't do it right now where I am but that's where I would start. I agree it feels odd.

Yep. This is true I believe.

You can also try:

go <NOT> been

[Λύχνις Δαν]

Wouldn't that rather be go@-"been" ?

I don't believe that's possible in an English language search.

Told you I didn't do it that often Oh well, you may lose some other hits along the way then.

In NAS95S word = "been" is used 904x -- most of them reflecting a passive voice for a verb - still do not see the relation to the verbs for 'go'  - I thought it might be a Strong's issue (NAS95S and ESVS) but also tried with NIV84, which is not based on Strong's numbers, and still received 'questionable' references - for ex. Matt 2.2,16 - still do not understand how these uses relate to 'go' - Searching for 'go' as a word does not find all the forms you do in a flex search (went, going, etc) - This is not a great issue for me, but more of a puzzle - as I was trying to highlight the ref's in John 14 to Jesus "going" and came across 14.9 - "have I been with you..."
