ISBEV15 did not show up in Search or Factbook
I was trying out “How to Search Your Entire Logos Library in a Flash” & Factbook, but noticed that my ISBEV15 (International standard Bible encyclopedia by James Orr) never show up. Is there any problem with my copy of ISBEV15?
Thanks.

Do you have it prioritized in your library? That would be the first thing to check

It didn't work even after I have prioritized it to top of all Bible Dictionaries.

What are you using as your search argument? Factbook does not necessarily show all dictionaries. However, the search should if your search argument actually occurs in the resource. A screen shot of the search/facebook would be helpful in finding the error. (Use the paperclip icon to include a screenshot).

Do you have "Match case" set by accident? Have you tried it without the caps? If neither of those fix it try "reindex resource name" in the command box, then try again.

The `Match Case" was not ticked, capital letters or not, and reindexing the resource,the result were still the same.

I surprised that the reindex didn't fix it. Let's try one more thing. Open the resource and try an inline search for angel and post a screenshot of the results.
I missed the obvious - you are not looking at the results for the word "text" but at the results for <Topic angel>. Some dictionaries have not yet been tagged with topics so they will not appear in this section nor in Factbook. It is only if it does not appear on "Library Results" that there is a problem.

It does appear on "Library Results". Just that I thought I have seen somewhere a screen-shot, or video clip (?) showing both ISBE (rev) & ISBE 1915, that's the thing that prompted me in inquire into my copy of ISBE 1915 not showing up. Well, I could have mistaken.
Thank you so much for your guidance.

ISBE 1915 is a very old resource we don't sell any more. In fact I don't think we (i.e. Faithlife) were event the ones who produced it. At any rate, it's not been tagged in a manner to be supported by Factbook.

Not to be contrary, but is it not included in every single "Standard" base package for Logos 6, from Starter all the way up?

I had thought the products included in base packages were being prioritized for tagging, so I am somewhat disappointed to hear this.
EDIT: I hope date of publication is not the determining factor regarding what gets tagged for Factbook. A quick check shows that these resources have been tagged and appear in Factbook, and one might argue they are much less widely used and cited than ISBE 1915:
Easton, M. G. Easton’s Bible Dictionary. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1893.
Hastings, James, John A. Selbie, A. B. Davidson, S. R. Driver, and H. B. Swete, eds. A Dictionary of the Bible: Dealing with Its Language, Literature, and Contents Including the Biblical Theology. New York; Edinburgh: Charles Scribner’s Sons; T. & T. Clark, 1911–1912.
Shepherd, Thomas J. The Westminster Bible Dictionary. Philadelphia: Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1880.
Smith, William, and Henry Wace, eds. A Dictionary of Christian Biography, Literature, Sects and Doctrines. London: John Murray, 1877–1887.
If the determining factor is date of publication, that would explain why this resource is also not tagged for Factbook, even though it also is included in a current base package:
Jackson, Samuel Macauley, ed. The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge: Embracing Biblical, Historical, Doctrinal, and Practical Theology and Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Biography from the Earliest Times to the Present Day. New York; London: Funk & Wagnalls, 1908–1914.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I was actually looking at a different version (as_isbe).
INTLBBLDICT1915 (the one included in base packages) is in the queue for being updated. At this point, I don't have an ETA.

Kyle, the official Logos 6 Help file says that the Factbook's "Dictionaries" section "links to relevant articles in any dictionaries in your Library." Obviously this is not the case, or at least it currently is not the case. Can you (or anyone else from Faithlife) comment on whether the wording of the help file is incorrect or whether Faithlife does in fact plan on adding tagging to all dictionaries at some point?

The Help file is incorrect. It should say "dictionaries in your Library that have been topically-aligned". I've just corrected that and it should appear in the next update of the Help file. Sorry for that, but thanks for pointing it out!

Thanks for the update, Eli. Is there any piece of documentation I can reference for the latest list of what dictionaries/encyclopedias do or do not work with Factbook?

Not that I know of, sorry.
