In the previous article, you learned some of the ways Logos makes it easy for you to deepen your understanding of biblical words. In this article, you'll learn some of the ways in which you can search Bibles and other books in Logos.
Note: Available to all subscriptions and in the former Starter Feature Set and above.
Logos supports two searching modes:
- A Precise search which you can use to search for very specific terms and makes use of the extensive tagging available in Logos
- A Smart search which is AI-enabled and supports searching through natural language queries (this is only available with a subscription).
So, for example, you could use a Precise search to find every place Jesus spoke to Peter or a Smart search to find out where Jesus was born.
And you can do the same thing in your other books – such as using a Precise search to find where a particular passage appears in a sermon in your library (1) or using a Smart search to explore the focus of a particular church council (2).
Note: As you can see, in a Books Search (and also an All Search), a Smart Search returns a synopsis of the most relevant results.
You can access the Search Tool either by clicking the Search icon on the application toolbar (1), or right-clicking a word in a Book and executing a search from the context menu (2).
At the top of a Search panel are a number of tabs, allowing you to access different types of search – these are outlined and explored here.
Search Without Leaving Your Bible or Other Books
Inline search is the quickest way to search within a book you have open. In your open Bible or other book, select the Search tab and enter your search term in the inline search box.
Note: Bibles support Smart Inline Searching while other books only support Precise Inline Searching.
