Not sure if it is just the topic guide or lack of articles in logos but I would think that I would find more articles on the holiness of God. Is there a better way of searching this? This is what show up when I search
That does look quite disappointing.
Try a Basic Search in All Resources for this:
largetext:("Holiness of God","God, holiness of")
Better, I would expect it to pick up more systematic theologies though. I have around 100 and it only pulled up 3 of them
Maybe they don't have the key words/phrase in section headings (or maybe those headings aren't in a larger font). The largetext: search filter is kind of a quick & dirty workaround for the fact that not all headings are tagged as such in Logos resources, so you can't easily search within heading text. But most of them do use a larger font than the surrouding text, so they implemented this feature to let us get partway towards a true search-in-headings feature. But it's not perfect.
You could try searching in a collection of all your systematic theologies for "holiness of God","God, holiness of" and see what you find.
Is there a better way of searching this?
Basic Search of Heading Text, Large Text for:
Holiness WITHIN 2 WORDS God
finds more articles. When Match all word forms is checked, the search can be:
Holy WITHIN 2 WORDS God
also finds 756 articles in my library.
Large Text search "Holiness of God" finds 77 articles that can be combined with Heading Text to find 124 articles.

You do know you can customize your topic guide by adding collections. Here is mine running the same search using with my theology collection added to the the guide. If you call it "My Topic Guide" it becomes the default in most cases. If you need assistance setting up a custom guide, please post back. The custom topic guide is one of my most use Logos tools.
Better, I would expect it to pick up more systematic theologies though.
Can search Heading Text, Large Text of resources with Title:Systematic
Still not pulling all the articles even with this search
Can search Heading Text, Large Text of resources with Title:Systematic Holy WITHIN 2 WORDS God
Changing search to Holy WITHIN 6 WORDS God found more articles, including "Holiness the fundamental attribute in God" and "God's Law and Holiness"
I guess I have to leave out God
Don't be disappointed ... your just a few clicks from long lists of resource.
Is there a way to pass this on to logos to get this fixed?
I would insert "holiness" in the topic guide since "holiness of God" is in holiness subject
I would think the topic guide would have pulled this one up
Alternative is changing search to match all word forms; quotes are not needed.
Searching for Systematic Theology Articles that have a word form of Holy but not God found some to consider:
Topic Guide for Holiness finds ISBE article:
Noticed Topic Guide for "Holiness of God" did not find subpoints in Holiness article while search of Heading Text, Large Text does (turns out the sub points are Heading Text).
