Concordance Feature

I would love to see a SEARCH feature on the menu bar of the Concordance window - a type of "In Line Search". The ability to be able to search your search results would be great.

Another idea is to be able to SAVE the concordance as a sort of "booklet' in Logos so it would show up in the larger search results - perhaps ONLY when desired. Some resources have no detailed TOC and a very limited index. This would greatly expand the usability of those (user selected) resources.

    I believe mention has been made to have cntrl + F searchability in a release as early as 6.4. Eli talks about it here.

    With the ability to run searches on select volumes through inline search and general searches, how do you see building an index, saving it, and being able to search it as differing from the already available search options and/or the cntrl + F functionality? (I'm sure there would be a benefit that you've already thought through that I haven't been creative enough to find!)

    CTRL+F finding within a concordance is coded and will be released in 6.4.

    First, the inline search does not do the same kind of search as the Concordance > at least in its layout. Secondly, I just had a hunch that a search on the Concordance results might be useful. it would 1] refine the results, 2] streamline the results so that  3] users might cut one slice out of the pie instead of having to manage a whole huge pie.
