I'm having trouble doing a topical search. I have been trying to answer this through faqs and searches and simply can't get it done. I'm sorry for asking such a simple question, but I'm stumped. I want to do a topical search on "providence"
If I type providence I get a lot of provide, provides, etc.
If I type "providence" I get the same results
If I type =providence the same
If I type exact:providence I get no results other than dictionary entrys.
I am searching my entire library, which is 2000 plus resources. I cannot believe that none of these books have the word providence in them, and if there were a simpler way to do a topic study on providence I would be grateful to anyone who could put me to it.
I did try creating a collection and after a half hour, I think I did it, but even after viewing a tutorial I'm not sure. I know that this will take some getting used to, and I thought I had a small handle on it, but I'm stymied here. I had a great group of collections from Morris Proctor from a logos seminar I went to in libronix 3 but they are all gone now...;-(
Thanks for any help someone can provide.

Hi Michael,
In the search pane, click the little down arrow:
and then uncheck "Match All Word Forms."
That should probably do it.

Brent's advice should work.
I commend http://wiki.logos.com/Search_HELP for your reading. It will help you figure out how to effectively use the search to find stuff in your books.

Thanks for that link, I was on that page, but operators are apparently overridden by that little check box...
