But these types of searches work well only if both texts consistently 
follow the same tagging system and are of relatively equal quality. I 
find that most programs have LXX and GNT texts that are tagged by 
different people or teams and have tagging schemes that differ to one 
degree or another, not to mention that they usually are not equal in 
quality. If I remember correctly, the combined LXX/GNT text in 
BibleWorks follows a consistent tagging system and is pretty close to 
error-free, at least by the standards of the tagging system employed.
