Running a Morph Search

To begin a Morph search:

1. Click the Search icon in the toolbar.

2. Ensure that the Morph search type is selected.

3. Choose the morphologically-tagged resource you wish to search by clicking the Resource Selector drop-down menu. You can search a morphologically-tagged original language resource or a reverse-interlinear enabled translation. You can also limit your search to specific fields or passages.

   

4. Formulate your query. Logos provides several tools to help you create an effective query:

• Search Helps (in the main search pane) provide basic guidance about how to construct your search.

  

• Search Templates allow you to build a more complex search without having to use search syntax. Instead, select the kind of search you want to make, then enter your search terms in the dialog box that appears. Search Templates appear in the left navigation menu, which can be toggled on/off using the navigation menu icon .

  

• Search Suggestions: As you type, Logos will populate a list of suggestions to help you refine your search. For best results, select one of these. Otherwise,  finish typing your search query and press Enter.
  

5. You can search for a particular morphological form of one or more words by typing the @ symbol immediately after the word. Logos will display a drop-down menu allowing you to select what grammatical form of the word you would like to search for. You can select as few or as many morphological categories as you want. Press Enter to execute the search.

   

Search Results

Logos displays your search results in the search panel. You can view your search results in three different ways.

Passages View

This view displays all of the passages (verse or chapter) containing your search results. Clicking a search result (highlighted phrase) opens it in a new window in your clicked Bible.

To view two or more versions side-by-side, click the small arrow to the right of the Multiple Books Display button and enter the details of a version you want to add. Then select it from the options displayed by clicking the version name.

Add in any additional versions you would like to use. Then click the Multiple Books Display button to enable this.

You can save different combinations of resources in the menu and then go back to them with a single click.

Aligned View

This view displays the verses containing your results and aligns them by your search terms.

Analysis View

This view displays detailed grammatical and semantic information from the original language version of your search results.
