    My Strong's talking Greek and Hebrew dictionary doesn't "talk". It works for me in Wordsearch. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    is there a resource for video production in logos?

    1. Sean Boisen 5 days ago

      Do you mean a resource explaining how to produce video? I don't know of anything like that.

    How to search for a concept in the whole Bible, even when it's not mention directly by name. example: spiritual growth.

    1. Rev. Kevin Obermeyer 8 days ago

      I would start with the Factbook or Topic Guide, then maybe some of the other guides like even the Sermon Starter Guide.

    If the "Concordance" tool is able to identify all the "Works Cited" in a resource, is there a way that I could search the "Works Cited" in the "Search" tool? As an example, what if I wanted to search all my John Piper resources for every time he quotes Jonathan Edwards. Could that be done? I know I could just search Piper's works, but I specifically want to only search "Works Cited."

      Try using a Footnote Text search

      Similarly, I was going to suggest doing a Basic search for Jonathan Edwards (without quotation marks to maximize hits for first and/or last name, which helped snag a few Edwards only hits), changing range from Everything to Piper resources, then changing All Text to include all search field boxes. This allowed me to search all resources rather than one at a time in the Concordance Tool. I don't know if there may be a few false positives, as I didn't check all hits. But it's a good place to start.

      Thanks guys! I think your suggestions are the closest I will get to what I'm trying to accomplish.

    I want to do a search through all my library for a certain passage (Genesis 3) on the Fall, but I don't want the linguistic resources to appear.

      Were you wanting to do a search of some kind on that passage? The Passage Guide and Exegetical Guide will present a lot of good information.

    Can someone point me in the right direction to videos on how to do a morph search? I am looking to search for yiqtol in this string: waw + x + yiqtol. If there were a mobile ed for doing advance searching such as morph query I would like to sign up. Jesse

      Most of my Syntax Search learning has happened (by trial & error) while trying to research/answer usage questions: Faithlife Forums (primarily) and Faithlife web site (secondary). Not like Video 10 in the Logos 9 Advanced Bible Study Series showing Syntax Search creation without looking at Clause Visualization. Hovering mouse over "verb" has a pop-up, but does not indicate "Terminal Node" being corresponding Syntax Search selection. Dark Mode in Logos 9.5 Beta 3 has unreadable yellow text on white background for words not highlighted by Syntax Search: workaround is adding Greek resource for corresponding search result highlighting. Faithlife Forums => https://community.logos.com has better image handling for discussions. Created Bug: Dark Mode thread => https://community.logos.com/forums/t/200649.aspx

      What about these: Where do I get a knowledge of the terms used in the syntax tool? Does the Logos 9 Advanced Bible Study Series teach it? What about this: Mobile Ed: Logos Academic Training Bundle (4 courses)? The problem with the morph search is that I am not looking for a specific morph or word but any yiqtol verb in the second position. If I understood the terms a little better I might could use the syntax diagram boxes. Is there a class one can attend to get educated in this?

    BUG: Cannot verify Bible Browser Topic results (indirectly a search issue) When I try to do a search on a topic with results in the Bible browser, I cannot get a Bible Knowledgebase Topic entry to show ... I also cannot find it in the context menu

    1. MJ. Smith

      BUG in Context Menu copy reference as Search content. (indirectly related to Search) For each entry type in the Bible Browser, I did the following: - selected a random value for some attribute under the facet - selected an appropriate portion of one of the results displayed - used right-click to open the context menu - selected the datatype or label that represented the facet I'd selected - selected "search' in the copy reference option - pasted that result into a table included in my post for today's tip. INCONSISTENCY/BUG: <LiteraryTyping ~ Healing> was the only item requiring {Section } that was not wrapped in that extension. I know that Bradley has indicated he'd rather none of them were wrapped. My concern is simply that they be predictable i.e. consistent. (I do prefer they be wrapped in the extension but I understand why Bradley holds his position).
