Ocurrence of words in X-Ray are not found in KFX format about worddumb

spaCy probably marked that word as person by mistake in that particular sentence, the word means "cataphract" which shouldn't be marked as person or term. You can use the custom X-Ray feature to ignore this word or increase the "Minimal X-Ray occurrences" value to two.

You're completement right and the fault was me. I was using the custom X-Ray feature and I made a mistake. I assigned to "catafracto" the property "PERSON". As there are only one occurrence in singular, the behabiour seems correct. To be sure, I've changed the word to "PRODUCT" and I have generated again the file. But the result is not good. The problem remains. There are a lot of occurrences of the word in the book and only three are located:

If I delete this word from custom X-Ray feature the result is:

If I change the word in custom X-Ray feature writing the plural one, it locate all of the ocurrences.

I don't know why, but the plugin part of code to locate occurrences of this word is not working, with the plural.

You want to add the word "catafracto" and "catafractos" as a X-Ray entity? You can create a custom X-Ray data and add the plural form to the "Aliases" input box. spaCy entity ruler can only find the exact matched string, and custom X-Ray names are not fuzz matched, so you have to add the precise strings you want to find.

Yes, I want to add the word "catafracto" and "catafractos" as a X-Ray entity. I known about the alias, but I supposed that the plugin looked for the word and plural ones from it. It was my fault. Sorry. Now, I understand perfectly the way of work.
But I think a stange behavour remains.
If I delete "catafracto" from the custom list, spaCy locate "catafractos", but only two ocurrences. It should find 22 ocurrences.
Do you know why?

spaCy can't guarantee to find the same word in every sentences, unless you add that word to the entity ruler via the custom X-Ray dialog. Other NLP software should be the same.

Ok. Thanks for your help and the explanations given. Having in mind spaCy is the tool used by the plugin, I think yo can close the issue.

OK, I'll close the issue now.
