This search: lemma:ἔπειτα NEAR lemma:εἶτα should seem to return 1 Corinthians 15:23-24, but it doesn't:
Don't you need to switch to Basic mode to cross the verse boundary?
Orthodox Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."
Hmm that did work. But is this how one intuitively expects search to work?
If I was hoping to get a sense of how Paul uses those adverbs together, I would have expected that search to cross verse boundaries automatically...
Each of the searches has a unit that it searches ... basic is an "article", Bible and morph are a "verse", Clause is a clause ... I don't know Syntax ...
This seems to me something that would be worth changing.
Default behaviour for a Bible search, especially using the operator 'near' should span verse divisions, right?

The question is what is a better segment? If looking for two words do you really what to span a book? a chapter?
Surely the NEAR operator is able to filter it out. I'd be wanting to search for anytime they occur within a meaningful unit. As 1 Cor 15:23-24 demonstrates, this sometimes spans a verse division.
In my mind, it's within 10-30 words, regardless of versification which dates back only a few centuries (in the NT anyway).
Something closer to your approach is being implemented in the beta morph grid search. I prefer to think in terms of pericope and sentence rather than chapter and verse but I understand why Logos defined it as they have.
i think the default behaviour here should be changed. Since Logos presents itself as a way to quickly do research into the text, I ran this search to see how these two words were used in proximity to each other, and would have come away from this search thinking it only occurs once...
Andrew116:Surely the NEAR operator is able to filter it out.
The range of all operators is determined by the type of search --> verse in Bible & Morph, article/chapter in Basic. AND, OR, WITHIN, etc. are constrained to finding results within that division of the text. WITHIN & NEAR further constrain results by proximity e.g WITHIN 3 WORDS. NEAR is shorthand for WITHIN 48 CHARACTERS (abt. 8-10 words), so it may not suit all of your searches.
Syntax Search is a viable alternative as the range is not determined by verses and chapters, but by the grammatical Clauses or Phrases you specify. That would only give you 1 Cor 15:7, however, because that is the only place where they are related within a Clause!
So, for your purposes, you should perform a Basic search with Bible Text instead of All Text; where the range is a bible chapter.
