Searching g/k or strongs numbers inconsistencies

[ukfraser]

From another thread on interlinear, i was doing some searching for a number.

when i enter the number in the mounce greek lexicon, the word is found

when i enter it with a G prefix it cant find the word. 

the screenshots show resource and search info i was using but its the same for both g/k and strongs.

 

Yet other lexicon searches require the prefix as detailed in the other thread (update: and nidntte, see exaple below)

 

what is going on? Is this a bug?

I'm on Windows & changed the drop-down panel to G/K numbers. I see options on yours what options does it give you?

Thanks, so had i which is why im surprised it couldnt find the word when i used the G prefix but can without it. And it calls itself a flex search but just the number part is showing highlighted in the result in the second screenshot but the G is clearly there.

i opened the module up & did the search that way.

So its a bug in the ios version.

thanks. 

I tried my iPhone & same thing, so we definitely have a problem with it.

Interesting i get exactly the opposite results with nidntte where i get no results for just the number and have to enter the G prefix

so its definitely some inconsistent coding somewhere along the line. 
 

i dont usually search this way which is why i havent noticed it before. 
 

having looked at some of my other lexicons, they just list the number and no prefix in the text.

I can confirm this, so I've reported the issues with both Mounce and NIDNTTE.

Glad you installed it On your m2 mackbook air?????

I tested this on my iPad, but I will likely proceed with installing it on my M2 MacBook Air this week. :-)

I tried running the search in Mounce's Greek Dictionary on Desktop. I get the same results as iOS.

 

I see what I originally did and @ReformedDoc did. We both used Mounce's Expository Dictionary, not Mounce's Greek Dictionary on Desktop. With Mounce's Expository Dictionary, I can search with a G in front of the number. With Mounce's Greek Dictionary, I cannot.

Thanks, hopefully we can look forward to either standardisation in all resources for searching or preferably some form of flex where the software doesnt care whether we use G / H or not. 
 

;o)

Yeah, I'll chat with our programmers about it and see if that's a potential feature request. The good news is at least it isn't a bug.
