"Supernatural Being" autocomplete issue

Apologies to those who had trouble following along with the Power Searching webinar.

What happened:

  • It turns out, there’s a bug in search autocomplete that doesn’t allow users to find many Label search terms, unless they happen to have a license for the non-English version of the dataset.
  • When Josh demo'ed this autocomplete feature in in the webinar, using the example of supernaturalBeing, people ran into the bug, and started reporting this problem.

To fix it: 

  • For an immediate workaround to fix "Supernatural Being" in autocomplete, join this public Faithlife Group: https://faithlife.com/supernatural-being-autocomplete-bug-workaround 
  • Then restart Logos. This will grant a temporary license that will resolve the issue for the Supernatural Beings dataset. 

We are also fixing the bug in code, which will go out with the next software update. 

Thank you everyone who reported the issue and helped us track down the cause!

    @jim dean - no, it is for any thing with the type of "Label" - the workaround above (joining the faithlife group and restarting Logos) mostly addresses the issue for me

    @james brent griffin ... thanks for the clarification! @adam borries ... you really should modify your OP to clarify that ALL label searches are impacted. ALSO, I trust that becoming a "follower" of the group is sufficient, without becoming a "member".

    Jim, I updated the OP. To further clarify: * The bug affects _most_ labels, but not all. * The bug only affects the _autocomplete suggestion_, not the search itself. If you manually type the search terms, or execute the search another way (like from the context menu in a resource), the search will still work. * The autocomplete bug has been fixed in beta version 30.0, which will ship to all users next week. https://wiki.logos.com/Logos_30.0_RC_1
