Apparent incorrect search result

When I search the Hebrew verb שָׁחָה, Accordance returns only 2 verses instead of 172 that use the verb? What am I doing wrong.

  I think there is a debate on what the root is for that word, and accordance has it tagged as =חוה־1

  

  This search finds the other 170 instances.

  I believe that, as Michael S. alluded to, most of the instances you are looking for are considered Hishtafel forms of חוה (specifically 2-חוה, at least in most Accordance grammatically tagged Hebrew texts)

  This is complicated further, however, if you are working with the ETCBC text, at it incorrectly marks these forms as the Hofil of 1-חוה, rather the hishtafel forms of חוה or a form of שָׁחָה, the verb you are looking for.  

  For the issues with the ETCBC (which go beyond just this verb), see this post in the old forums: https://forums.accordancebible.com/topic/36843-etcbc-tagging-of-וְה%D6%B4ֽשְ%D7%81תַ%D6%BCחֲו%D6%B4֛יתָ-in-deuteronomy-3017/#comment-188963
