New "Group By" search feature is a game changer!
I was doing a search for the phrase "golden chain" today and stumbled across the new "group by" feature. Within seconds, I had sorted by "type, "opened the encyclopedia category, and located a definition. This search feature is a game changer. My one suggestion/request is that Logos consider adding "Collection" to the…
BUG Beta 3: Panel Menu Selection issue
This is not new as it was reported during the Private beta. But it is sometimes difficult if not impossible to select/open the Panel menu. The video shows initial success, but what follows is more typical of trying with this tab. Changing the width of the tile makes no difference. The panel menu can be selected after…

Bug Beta 4: Differing Titles and Results in Books Search
Search for "answered prayer" NEAR God OR "answered prayer" NEAR Bible The second query should eliminate any ambiguity wrt the evaluation of the OR. EDIT: the closing parenthesis is hidden 1.

Why CT but not counselingTheme?
Why is only CT accepted as a datatype but not counselingTheme? The abbreviation is not self evident when building your first few searches for counseling themes?
What's the proper way to manage beta ~~ SR releases?
I have wondered about this for awhile...most of the time I have my system set to 'Set Update Channel to Beta'. Beta versions come out, they update. But periodically, on the stable channel a Service Release/SR will come out. I think there have been 3 on the most recent stable release version. I have assumed these fixes are…
Trying to understand why Clause Search and Syntax Search give different results
This is with Logos 22.0 beta 4 on Windows 11 In the screenshot below I am searching for when ἀγάπη is the object - and I don't understand why the Clause and Syntax searches give different results. For the Syntax Search I selected the Object (Cascadia) template Any insights appreciated.
BUG: Blurry pop-ups with program scaling
Apologies if this has been flagged already. I run Logos with program scaling at 100% and content scaling at 80%. A few betas ago I noticed that pretty much all pop-ups were blurry, and it's lingered ever since. This program scaling at 100%... And this is at 80%... Any chance of a fix!?
Comment on additions to Search v22.0 Beta 1
I presume that the additional ways to group results in Books Search is a work in progress 1.The results summary e.g. All Open books .....does not appear initially for Library 2.Use of "results" is overloaded and inconsistent. This needs to be fixed e.g. * > Downloaded Books 6 results, where it is 6 articles (elsewhere 6…

In the Factbook left panel for Preaching Theme, the elements are in alphabetical order except for the first three: God the Father, Hell, The Kingdom of God. These should follow the same pattern as the other entries.
BUG? USER ERROR? Unintended consequence - collection of type:"Cross-Reference Index"
How am I supposed to define a collection rule for type:"Cross-Reference Index" resources? I ended up using type:"Cross-Reference Index" ANDNOT type:"Bible Cross-Reference Index" as I could not force an equals match. This seems rather kludgy rather than an intended design choice. How am I supposed to do it if I remembered…

This is with Logos 22.0 beta 3 on Windows 11 As per the screenshot there are results appearing in the Cloud Books section of a Books Search that I don't own (but do have in my Print Library) This seems like a bug to me
BUG or INCONSISTENCY: Information panel
* The edit pencil does not appear for the short title until it has some content. Without the empty short title being an input box, the fact that it is an updatable field is inconsistent in its presentation. * Short title in the information panel is called abbreviated title in the library detail view. Data should have…

Bug v22.0 Beta 1: Cannot select resources for Passage Lists
Resource selection for Passage Lists is not working e.g. click in the Box and the picker appears instead of allowing data entry.
BUG: Prioritization of a series
Normally, if one drag-and-drops any volume of a series into the priority list, the entire series is prioritized. If, however, you are working from a limited library installation, if one drag-and-drops a volume of the series which is not downloaded into the priority list, only that volume is prioritized. I would still…
Factbook Search search helps - use of templates
In 10.1 beta 3: Hi Factbook search search helps entry refers to using search templates and provides a link to them. But if you click the link you are advised that no templates are available (I didn't actually expect them). Should the link be removed?
Factbook Tags search - use of templates

BUG: Poor handling of cloud resource
Rather than being blank as if the passage was not in the text, the NJB column should have a message somewhat like "cannot access cloud resource" ... this should be consistent throughout the application.
Odd behavior in 22.0 beta 1?
I thought this was strange, so I am posting it in case others see something similar. My system was current on 10.1, resources updated - I got 4 resources into my library yesterday, and indexing was complete. Around dinner time, after being away from my desk most of the day, I noticed on the forums that beta 1 was out. So I…

BUG: Bizarre search counts on non-existent results/ erroneous counts on actual results

Logos 9.10 RC 1 Freezes on Speaker Label Search while in half screen
I'm working with Logos 9.10 RC 1. I was working with Logos on one half of the screen and my web browser on the other.

Shouldn’t Jesus Know the Future? | Brandon Crowe on Mark 13:32
In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus states that he does not know the day or hour of his return—only the Father does. But how can that be? If Jesus is fully God, wouldn’t he be omniscient? In this episode of What in the Word?, Kirk E. Miller is joined by Brandon Crowe to explore this challenging passage. They discuss different possible explanations—including bad ones!—and the importance of distinguishing Christ’s two natures. Nothing short of our salvation is at stake!
Thinking Theologically About Work | Karen Swallow Prior
Many people view work as either a means to success or a necessary burden. But how should Christians think about work theologically? In this episode of Logos Live, Kirk E. Miller talks with Karen Swallow Prior about the theological view of work, drawing from Genesis and doctrines like the priesthood of believers. They discuss how […]

How to Minister in a Disenchanted Age? 1 Peter and Re-Personalization
It is often assumed that Christianity grew and maturated in the ancient world because the gospel fit its sense of enchantment. So many have proposed that we need to re-enchant that which has been disenchanted. One aspect of enchantment evidently means rehabilitating ancient Christian practices—and the weirder it is, the more enchanting. While the weirdness of Christianity is unavoidable, this article wants to argue something more obvious and overlooked: Re-enchament abounds when Christians live out their ordinary lives in the midst of an unbelieving world.
