Searching in Qumran texts
Answered
I was searching through some of the Qumran materials today. Since the texts, both English and Original language, are heavily marked with editorial signs to show where texts have been reconstructed/emended etc. I was wondering whether there is a way to search with Accordance ignoring the textcritical signs.
Example: If I search for Melchizedek, I would like to find “Melchize]dek” or “Melchiz[edek]” and so on as well.
Any enlightenment?

Is there a specific module you are having issues with? When I run a simple word search in DSS Bible-Canonical Order, it seems to give me the results you are looking for, results across the brackets. See screenshot.

I haven't done extensive testing in the English module, but here is an example where it picked up the Word despite the bracket.

Problem has been solved - thanks for the help. I am not sure how, but now it picks up texts with brackets, too, both in English and Hebrew.
