Is there anyway that one could save search results?

 

Thanks

    Sorry Lourens, It's a much requested feature but the answer is, "not at this time."

    Hmm Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.

    I'm running the Mac 1.2.1 Engine.

     

    These methods should work on either engine, but may not be super convenient.

    On the Mac you can just save the search results in a workspace and load it later.  You could also copy and paste the results.  On the Windows Engine, you can export the search results from, I believe, the file menu.  You can also export the results as a verse list and Libronix will look them up in whatever version you in which want to see them.

     

    Blessings,

    Boy, this would be great and also a way to manipulate them as well - for instance say 15 results come up - you could sift through drop the unimportant ones and save those that are really helpful.  Would be great.

    it is now 15 months later... has the status changed for saving search results?

    If not... Is there a way to copy them to Word or .pdf so they can be printed out, highlighted.  I would also like to add a few paragraphs from reference books.

    There's gotta be a way!

    There is no new functionality in Logos 3 and there won't be. So the answer in Logos 3 is no.

    However in Logos 4 the answer is different.

    For Bible, Morph, and Syntactical searching the answer is yes. You can send them to a Passage List and save them, and even further merge that Passage List with other Passage Lists. You can also export results in a number of ways. One would be to an Excel spreadsheet, another to a text editor such as MS Word. You can export (to Word or Excel, etc) with Basic searching but that usually isn't helpful nor what you might want to do with basic search results.

    Take a look at L4 and the Passage List and Print/Export features.

    This is an important function for you to be following it up these months later.

    1)  In Libronix/Logos 3 from the 'Search Results' window select from 'Other Tools' on the right hand side "Export Results to Verse List

    2)  This opens a window  "Verse list: VerseList1"

    The verse list file has been created and automatically called 'VerseList1'.

    3)  Go to 'Properties' via the icon to change the Verse List file name. 

    4)  Change 'Style' to display Reference and Text in one or two columns. Use this if the text of the verses is required in your document.

    5)  Select 'Add' to add more verses to the list. Several options are available, including from an active Word document. Only the verses from the document will be imported, all other text will be ignored.

    6)  To Delete a verse simply select it and 'Delete'

    7)  Verses can be listed in Canonical order or Custom Sorting if required.  Change using the 'AZ' icon. (Click and hold to shift a verse into another position.)

    8)  Finally: Select all (Ctrl + A ), cut ( Ctrl + C ), then paste ( Ctrl + V ) into the new Word document.

    Footnotes and cross references can be deleted froomt eh Word document by deleting the small superscript letters or numbers from the text of the verses.
