Silluq and Metheg Confusion in Search Results

[Jeff Kermah]

How do I create a search for verses where atnaḥ comes on the first word before silluq, without Accordance adding metheg instead of silluq to my results? 

 

Below is a screenshot. I selected the silluq sign but the results also include methegs.

@Jeff Kermah, you noted the same problem that I reported some time ago. Accordance software cannot distinguish between Meteg and Silluq. 

 

@Nathan Parker you can now see I'm not the only person using the accent search, and this is a problem for us.

Hopefully this will be corrected in the future.

Accordance Enthusiast and Jeff Kermah are far from being the only people who use Accordance to search on the טעמים! Joshua Jacobson who wrote 'Chanting the Hebrew Bible' made use of Accordance and MacBible both created by Roy Brown. Through the years a number of people have come to the forums asking for help running searches in the Hebrew Accents and to be sure there a number of people off the forums that use Accordance to do the same.

Apparently, Unicode does not distinguish them either.

Try using sof pasuq instead of silluq.

@Jordan S Thank you!!

@Accordance Enthusiast Thanks! I'll log this feedback with the other forum threads you sent me.

Thanks @Jordan S, but my thread linked above was about searching for Metheg only and not for Silluq.
