[B-Greek] Logos Software Errors

I found the information.  The problem existed with several of the proximity
operators.  They did not function correctly, especially 
with biblical Greek searches. For example, if you searched for 'AGAPE'
within so many verses or words of 'PISTIS' you may or may not receive the
correct hits. The deceiving thing about it was that you would always receive
a list of verses, but they MAY have been missing some actual occurrences.
This was a grave revelation for some who used the software to write
papers...
 
At the time the problem was disclosed in their readme.txt, but even their
own sales reps were unaware of it. LRS was unable to correct the problem
without replacing the entire software search engine....which took years to
do.  In their new software package it may have been corrected, but I stopped
tracking their product so I don't know.  Perhaps someone who owns a new copy
of Logos and a competitor can run some tests on the proximity commands to
see if they are accurate.  It was too bad because I did like the user
interface on Logos better than other products I looked at.
 
Hope that helps.
