Dan Masshardt Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 This is a pure newbie question: Is there an easy way to search for different versions of the same word? For example, I'd like to do one search that brings up all hits for baptize, baptism, baptized, baptizing... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpkang Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yes, using what are called wildcards. In your case, search for: bapt* Check out the tutorial video entitled Searching by Words and Phrases (and all the other content there!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorinda H. M. Hoover Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 searching for bapti* will find all the words you listed. The * is a wildcard symbol. Lorinda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveP Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Perfect! Thanks so much! A similar note, but not solvable by wildcards (I don't think...)... Any way to do a search that would include all forms of names referring to God? (i.e. God, Lord, Jesus, Holy Spirit, etc...) ? Not sure how that would be constructed, but it sometimes a construct I would like to use in conjunction with other terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 For this you either need to construct a list yourself (in parentheses with commas) or go to a Topical Dictionary like Naves or Topical Textbook and pull the references or the names from these. At present Accordance does not have a thesaurus type search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
