I am using this string With foxtrot query: "{15} 77. gr. ævilangt -ökuleyfi" which work but I wont get a pinpoint to the location in the document.
That is where 77. gr. and ævilangt could be found in the document.
Now I have to manually search for it.
Any suggestions
Best Regards

Yes, there is a small issue here caused by the excluded word (-ökuleyfi). Although FoxTrot should actually find documents that contain [77], [gr] and [ævilangt] in the given proximity range (15 words) with no occurrence of [ökuleyfi] in the same range (but it could occur elsewhere in the document), highlighting does not work as it should. The workaround in FoxTrot Pro is to open the document in a FoxTrot window ("view in FoxTrot Pro"), then remove the excluded word from the query string in the right pane (i.e. "{15} 77. gr. ævilangt"). This may also highlight occurrences of [77] [gr] and [ævilangt] that are actually at proximity of [ökuleyfi], but that is better of not highlighting anything at all.
Thanks for the report

One more question regarding this matter.
how do I make a search string with includion exclusion and neigboring words.
If I continue with my example in previus comment.
I want to search with in 15 word range for "77. gr." and ævilangt and exclude ökuleyfi
If I use "{15} 77. gr. ævilangt -ökuleyfi" it takes 77. and gr. as two seaperated words but I need it only mark them when they are to gather as "77. gr."
Is that possible in any way?
Best Regards as always.
