In our translation I set Ps 6:1 as:

Subject: [sword-devel] Canonical Psalm titles and SWORD search?



I just tried to search for the word 'Neginoth' using Xiphos.



There were no results found!



This word occurs in the canonical Psalm title for Ps.6 and five other Psalms.



"To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David."



In view of the fact that canonical Psalm titles are translated from the 
original Hebrew, ought it not to be within the scope of SWORD search?



Or is this merely a shortcoming of Xiphos?



cf. Xiphos Advanced Search dialog allows search scope to look in footnotes, but 
there's no such option for titles.



Of course, many Bible versions have non-canonical headings throughout the  
module, yet I'm not concerned with such in asking this question here.



Best regards,



David
