Brand new Logos user, very excited. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to do the first thing I need. How would I do a search for all perfect infinitives in the Greek NT and Septuagint?
Welcome!
To run the search you want you click on the search icon/select morph select the text you want to search and type @VR?N. Actually when you type the @ a drop down will allow you to select the morphology.
To search both the GNT and LXX you need to create a collection that has those two texts. The collections are found under tools. Here is a screenshot of the search and the collection.
Welcome
Awesome! This is why we use LOGOS right? Can't quite get it to work. Here's a screenshot. Why is it searching 23 resources when my collection only has 2 resources in it?
Well, that's not going to help. The rich text editor is not too user friendly. How do you insert a screenshot and make it bigger? I attempted to make it bigger by going into the edit function in the text editor, but there's no way to constrain proportions so I don't have a chance.
I got curious (not having tried morph searches in the past) and found that it works fine, but my results seem to differ from yours - that may be due to the different resources we use: my LXX has no Logos morphology and my NA27 neither, thus Logos morph yields zero, but GRAMCORD and Swanson get the same number of hits:
Is the big difference to your results really attributable to aparatuses and variant readings? When I save the results as a passage list, it says it contains only 114 entries, see attached 8255.VRN_in_greek_bible_text_morphed.rtf
Still curious,

but GRAMCORD and Swanson get the same number of hits:
Different Morphologies don't use the same morphological tags.
In Logos morphology @VR?N = Verb, Perfect, Infinitive so you have to type and then select:
Verb + (under Tense)Perfect + (under Mood) Infinitive
and run separate searches for your NA27 (whether Swanson morph or Logos morph) and Septuaginta (GRAMCORD morph).

Aaaaah, I didn't know that. Thanks a lot!
In the meantime I found that I do have Logos-morph-tagged ressources both for OT and NT, which brings me near:
Hey guys, that's how I inserted the screenshot. I clicked the paperclip and browsed to the screenshot on my desktop.
John, how did you change the size of your screenshot when inserting? The popup when you click the paperclip has max width and max width options that don't seem to do anything. How do we get past this? I'd like to get this search knocked out.
Without being able to see my screenshot, the left shows my search with the only collection I have created, and the right shows the breakdown of that collection as 2 resources. The search on the left is searching 23 resources, even though the collection only has 2.
Why is it searching 23 resources when my collection only has 2 resources in it?
And now we can see your screenshot, we can answer your main question. I'm afraid the answer is "I don't know"! Everything looks OK. I have just two suggestions:
The search on the left is searching 23 resources, even though the collection only has 2.
Wonder if collection had more than 2 resources at some time ?
Apologies: using Logos 4.3 SR-6 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) , unable to replicate: created collection with 2 Greek resources that have Logos Greek Morphological tagging, then ran morph search:
Can someone explain what I need to do for morphology and how to determine what morphology a resource utilizes?
One option is doing a morph search of all resources for an article @D OR preposition @P using Logos Greek Morphology to see which resources have results. After finding results, could tag resources.
Another option is creating Logos Greek Morphology visual filters, wiki Extended Tips for Visual Filters => Examples of visual filters has several examples, then open resource(s) and see if visual filter appears.
For searching Greek Bibles with Logos Greek Morphology, personally created a collection using tagging (lbs = Logos Greek Morphology; Interlinear = Logos Greek Morphology plus Display button):
Appears Dead Sea Scroll fragments do not have any perfect infinitives.
In the dropdown to select a resource to search, how can I tell what the resource is? There is no thumbnail picture and the resource name is cut off. I can't get the rest of the name to show. Even the abbreviations are cut off. On a PC we get a pop-up when we hover over the row. Can anyone else comment as to whether that normally happens on a Mac?

Logos 4.5 Beta 8 does have a row pop-up in All Morph Resources section of drop-down list, Logos 4.3 SR-6 on Mac lacks pop-up.
Edit: Logos 4.5 Beta 8 on Mac also lacks pop-up so updated Feature Parity list.
Keep Smiling [:)]
Logos 4.5 Beta 9 has pop-up with resource information on Windows, missing on Mac:
