Trouble with Logos 4 morphological searches since the latest update

Since the latest update to logos 4, logos 4.6a SR-5, I have not been able to do basic lemma searches based on the original languages. No matter how broad my filter settings are I get no results. I don't know if the problem has to do with the update or not, but since the update, when I right click on a word in an english translation of the scriptures (i.e. ESV) it gives me various options including a morphology search or lemma search. I click on it like I used to and I get zero results now every time. If I do a bible search in english it is fine. I cannot search the original languages. Is anyone else having this problem? Any directions, helps, or fixes?

Thank you,

Scott Barber

    I have no trouble with it. If you could include a screen shot, it would make it easier to guess the problem.

    I'm having exactly the same problem - but it seems to be limited to searches of the ESV reverse interlinear only (both Hebrew & Greek).  Whenever I do an original language search of any kind in the ESV, I receive a result of "0 results".  This has been occurring for the last few days - it may be related to the latest service release.  Alternatively, I recall a large 1GB+ resource update download last week sometime - I believe the ESV reverse interlinears were a part of this download - perhaps this issue is related to that update??  I though that maybe my index was corrupt, so I re-created my index - no improvement.

    ADDITIONAL NOTE:  In addition, I've just noticed that none of my original language based visual filters either are available or work/show now in my ESV only.  Before the latest updates, my ESV pages were colored with various kinds of visual filtering; now there is nothing on them.  The original language based visual filters aren't available on the "Visual Filters" drop-down list (the 3 circles), even though these filters are available to other reverse interlinear bibles.  I'm thinking that this whole problem is somehow more related to the recent ESV/reverse interlinear update than anything else.  There seems to have been a link that was removed somehow.

    Can you attach logos4.log after a search on ESV + its version from the bottom of Resource Information eg.

    The logos4 log you enclosed was an old one for Dec 5.

    Please enable logging (or start L4 with CTRL key held), repeat your searches and upload the log. Try a search in NT and another in OT and upload screen shots.

    I am having the same problem with my morphological-based visual filters on my ESV.  My "Imperative" filter used to be on all the time.  Now it is not even available on the drop down box.  It still works on NASB.

    I suspect you have been given parts of the ESV that are not compatible with 4.6, that are intended only for v5...

    Hi Dave,

    Was I supposed to do something to keep from getting incompatible versions?

    Meanwhile, I checked out my Windows 7 machine.  It does have the filter available in the drop down, but the result is not correct as noted below.  I have included version information for both machines:

    Laptop 1 - Windows 7

    Morphological
    visual filters present on ESV, but misaligned; i.e. highlight parts of
    words and spanning partial words; e.g., "perfECT" and "meeT TRIals" from
    James 1.

    Hi Dave,

    Was I supposed to do something to keep from getting incompatible versions?

    No. There appear to be issues with ESV (perhaps other RI) versions that Logos loaded onto different OS running 4.6a SR-5:-

    • Those on XP have no morphological VF's and morph searches give zero results
    • Windows 7 has a later version of ESV (same as Logos 5) but VF results are misaligned

    Your VF results on Win 7 would suggest incomplete indexing. Try a non-morphological search on ESV to see if results are also misaligned and report back.

    Either way you and others should contact Logos Support on Monday.

    Logos support called me at home on Monday.  They suggested manually forcing a resource update and, if that didn't work, rebuilding the index.  I tried both with no change in results; i.e., on my XP laptop (Laptop 2) the morphological VF's did not work.

    I now have a new information.  First, I verified that the morph VF's work on my Windows 7 desktop (no machine details given below).  I then resurrected my old XP laptop (Laptop 3 below).  As seen below, with an older version of L4 and ESV versions the VF morph filters worked.  Once I processed the updates and completed indexing it updated to the same versions as Laptop 2 XP and the VF morph filters quit working.

    So the VF morph problem is not isolated to a single machine and appears to be an XP system issue.

    I continue to have the problems with Morphological searches and as with others in this forum it is exclusively with the ESV translation. I have tried other translations and they will do the searches of the original languages fine. In one of the posts it sounds like this problem is linked to the update we received. Is there anything that I can do to fix this problem or do we have to wait for the fix to come out in an update?

    I should have updated my Windows 7 results since the VF's began working normally on the ESV once the indexing completed.

    Logos support called me at home on Monday.  They suggested manually forcing a resource update and, if that didn't work, rebuilding the index.  I tried both with no change in results; i.e., on my XP laptop (Laptop 2) the morphological VF's did not work.

    If you look at your ESV resource using the "Resource information" button on the upper right of the ESV window pane, are you using: "LLS:1.0.710    2012-08-08T21:30:18Z    ESV.logos4" ?

    In my case, both XP systems use this version and fail.  Both Windows 7 systems use: "LLS:1.0.710    2012-11-01T16:52:55Z    ESV.logos4" and work fine for VF's.

    David,

    My ESV resource is the same as that which is on your computers running windows XP. How do I get the different or updated version? I did buy Logos 4 and originally install it on my first laptop and my desktop, both had XP. I upgraded my desktop to Windows 7 and bought a new laptop with Windows 7. Would that have anything to do with the nature of the updates I receive for Logos 4?

    If it did then Logos has to fix its downloads to users of Logos 4, whether on Mac, Windows XP or 7/8.

    Are you saying that you can't get the 2012-11-01 version of Logos 4 on windows 7? Have you tried the command update resources?

    To ALL,

    After reading Scott's latest reply which identified the ESV.logos4 resource he was using I called logos support again.  They walked me through a procedure to update this specific resource.  If you can give them remote access to your machine they should be able to do it for you.  They asked me not to give details since performing the steps in the wrong order can result in the the same effect as a reinstall.

    They want you to call them if  a simple "update resources", and if necessary, followed by "rebuild index" does not work.

    My morphological visual filters are now working.  The support guy agrees that the failure of the morph search is a related problem.

    Thanks to all. Kudos to Logos Support!   [:D]

    Can you confirm that these are now the working ESV versions for you:-

    Windows 7 & Windows XP

    and that it has Logos Hebrew Morphology (select ESV in a Morph Search & look in the last drop down)?

    Logos 4.6a has a bug that can prevent it updating your preferred Bible (when updates are available). We will be shipping a Service Release soon that corrects this bug.

    Even after the update, my ESV was not updated. I called Logos and found out that all I needed to do, to get the update, was do the manual "update resources" in the command line. We were not sure why the Logos update failed, so the manual command to update was the route we went.

    By the way Scott M. was a tremendous help!

    I am having the same problem described here, except with NASB instead of ESV. ESV interlinear works fine, but in the NASB, I get a completely different set of Greek words lined up with the English. Funny thing is, if I right click a word, the correct Greek word appears in the context menu. The problem began for me some time around mid- to late December 2012 - same as most of the others have indicated in this post. When I checked my version today I was only on SR-5. I upgraded to SR-6, but it did not help the problem. I tried to rebuild resources but did not get any apparent action out of that. I am in the process of starting new "first-time" indexing as a couple of the posts have said.
