Yes, just like I said, but make it sure it's "All Text", not "Bible Text":

Many thanks for the explanation Todd. I didn't know that the metadata wasn't part of the resource file.
I've repeatedly tried restarting Logos but with no sucess. I've tried "Update Now", "Update Resources" and even "Sync Now" but the metadata of the BDAG are still missing. Seems like an odd thing.
Any suggestions anyone?
I don't. Though you could post your Logos4.log, and maybe we could find a clue in it. (http://wiki.logos.com/Diagnostic_Logging)

I've go a suspicion (translation: I'm not certain) that the searchable fields are not a matter of meta-data and that there is a problem with your index. Type Reubild Index into the command line and hit enter. (I don't remember if you need to restart Logos for the command to take effect)
After the index is complete check for your ability to search by Footnotes.

Kevin,
I have this same BUG!!!
The list of possible fields in BDAG showed up with the 7 or so kinds, then as I typed "the" into the box, the fields list disapeared. Now its near empty.
I have seen a related bug talked of once before but can't remember any details.

This is not a bug, but very confusing UI design. Notice there are two Find boxes. One is underneath the "All Text" dropdown menu and is still showing the grey instruction "Find" in your screenshot. The one you've typed "the" into is the Find box on top which is used merely to limit what things show up in that dropdown menu. If you'd typed something that matched one of the names of one of your highlighting styles or one of the search fields, it would have filtered the menu to show that item, but nothing matches "the". So you need to click the blue X (not the word Clear further to the right -- that clears all the checkboxes; another confusing design decision), then the Search fields will show up again, select the ones you want, click anywhere outside the dropdown menu to make it go away, so you can type your search text into the correct Find box.
This UI design has GOT to be fixed. It is way too confusing to users! I'm going to file a separate thread to report it as a problem. Not a bug, but a design shortcoming that seriously needs to be reconsidered.

Thanks Rosie,
I went back and worked thru the steps with more care. I agree with what you say.
I think the UI needs to be changed to NOT BE CONFUSING like that. The new "Find" should not overlap the 1st "Find" and maybe one should be renamed. Maybe the 2nd one on top could be named "Filter" or "Lunch Time" or just about anything except "Find".
YUCK!

Thank you very much Kevin! Your suspicion turned out to be true, at least for me. I ran a "merge index" and "voila!" - there they were - all the searchfields. Great! Much appreciated you help!
