issue with Text command + Targum Word Map (Equivalent project)

I am using Accordance 14.1.0b2 

(But I see that I have the same problem with the normal version of Accordance)

When I use the text command “Hebrew Bible” // “Targum Tagged” and do a normal search, I get as a result all Hebrew texts highlighted in red, and not just the word I am looking for. For example, if I search for the word “destruction” in the Targum Tagged ( אבדן-0), in the text command, I get all Hebrew texts that are highlighted, and not just the searched word.
As in the picture attached.
It happens only with the Targum, not in the other versions.

I am using MacOs Sequoia 15.6.1 - Apple M4

  Hello Sir,
  
  The Targums WordMap was designed with the module by the library name “Hebrew Bible Tagged (Leningrad Codex)”, also known by its module name “HMT-W4”. The module “BHS Hebrew (ETCBC)”, which you used to run the Text search command, has no word-mapping alignment with the Targums. 
  
  The fact that every word in ETCBC is highlighted as a hit is a bug. It should highlight none of them.
  
  I also want to point out that the Targums WordMap only currently covers the books of the Torah and Former Prophets (Joshua, Judges, 1Samuel, 2Samuel, 1Kings, 2Kings) and that the word you searched for in the Targums does not occur in these books. If you run that same search from HMT-W4 instead of ETCBC, the equivalent words will not be highlighted in the Hebrew Bible, because the Targums WordMap does not yet cover any of those books of Scripture.
  
  I hope this helps.
