Is there anyone out there that can help me build a syntax search in Logos 4? Thanks!
Post specifically what you're trying to search for here, and someone will likely respond to you with some help.
Also check out the wiki page on syntax search strategy (http://wiki.logos.com/A_Strategy_for_Syntax_Search), as that might help you be able to figure it out on your own.
I would be happy to help, as Rosie suggests post the specifics of what you want to search for.
I also suggest reading these threads to help acclimate yourself to the logic of syntax search.

I also recommend Mike Heiser's syntax vids linked to here:

For some reason those first four links weren't clickable. Here they are again. Hopefully they'll work this time. Thanks, Kevin, for digging up all those threads!
Could someone tell me how to emulate the structure of Ps 122:7 so that I can search for other structures? I feel I'm not to bad in doing syntactic searches, but this one is tough. I own Logos 4 and 3, use 3 for syntax searches as I haven't time to figure out version 4 yet.
I took a stab at it just because I am trying to learn as much about syntax searches as I can. I could not get a search to return a result that included your passage. It actually runs from verse 7 into verse 8.
I think where I am messing up is emulating the verb that is used by both clauses. The benefactive in verse 8 is also used by both clauses. I would imagine one of the forum's syntax experts is going to look at that passage and say "oh, that's easy". Fortunately right after they do that, they will likely share their knowledge with all of us. I look forward to seeing how this one is handled. It is going to be a great lesson for both of us. Thanks for asking the question.[:)]
Kevin, are you out there?[:D]
Andersen-Forbes OT syntax search is not something I do eagerly!
The basic structure is Clause ---> multiple Clause IC's and then fill in the appropriate details for each Clause IC (Immediate Constituent). So I got out the A-F Glossary to search it for some terms in the structure of Ps 122:7 eg. Basic Search for benefactive (right click benf gram to get the expansion). No results, so I try beneficiary and get the clues for Clause IC, Other Participants. The other abbreviations come in a similar fashion.
So here is a basic structure that returns Ps 122:7
The two Clauses in the passage appear the same but it was only when I put Anything between Subject and Beneficiary that I got a result.
Here's a better query, after I found Location under Space.
It should return 5 results.
