BPBible's proximity is an approximation based on some average length of word (~5 letters, I think... - though it may be calculated from the module). So results may not be directly comparable. Looking at the list I am find only single verse references in xiphos, but my > understanding is that crossboundary searches should be possible. > > What am I doing wrong?

BPBible also allows (for example) phrases to cross verse boundaries. I don't think any of the others do.
