Does Accordance count hits from both kethiv and qere?

Recommended Posts

I was doing some study of Psalm 119, and had Accordance count up the word occurences in the Psalm. To do this i Used the search

 

 

[RANGE psalm 119] <AND> *

 

In looking at the results, I noted that Accordance told me there were 26 instances of dabar (word/speech). However, a commentary I was consulting said their were only 24. I then did a search on just dabar in Psalm 119, which gave 26 hits in 23 verses. As I looked at the results, I noticed that in Psalm 119:47 and Psalm 119:61 included hits for both the kethiv and qere readings. In other words, there really are only 24 unique hits.

 

So my question is this - is there any way to tell Accordance to NOT look at the qere readings in the margin, but only search the kethiv readings?

 

 

Thanks for any help!

Look in the pop-up menu which usually says Verse and select Ignore Words Inside Brackets from the bottom of the menu.
