Hit Count in the Search Term List
Question: Why when all the search terms are selected with "List 1 hit per item only" are the counts returned different from when I click on each search term individually with the same setting?
Answer: Because the option is "List 1 hit per item only", and not "List 1 hit per search term per item only". Many users do not understand that. Imagine if in the same file there is 1 hit for search term A and 1 hit for search term B, and you select both A and B with that option enabled, then only 1 hit is listed, either the one for A or the one for B (up to X-Ways Forensics to decide). So the displayed hit count is 1 for one search term and 0 for the other one. If then you select the other search term only and click "Enter", the count for that search term will change from 0 to 1 because that is now the only possible search term from which hits can be listed, and up to 1 search hit is listed per file, so that 1 hit is listed.
