How do I search in the bible text in Logos 7?

David Emme

So how do you do a search within a text of scripture?

If I do a search for a term say like “Jesus” in the ESV

Here is what I get:

Jesus Man super natural being

Jesus’ Brother man

Jesus Ben Sirah man, author, and biblical book.

I will not bore you with all the others excerpt to note I get the figurative jesus then the jesus in Greek script

Do you know how many passages with the term “Jesus” come up?

Zero

And I am pretty sure there are a few in the bible-maybe not in the Old Testament-but still quite a few.

So how do I do this?

I am not sure I understand your question and results. When I search for the word "Jesus" in the ESV I get

Can you post a screen shot of your search?

Sounds like he is seeing the search suggestions auto-populate and isn't getting as far as running the search.

Click on, "Jesus supernatural being" and hit enter.

Normally, you use Bible Search.

Here is what I get:

Jesus Man super natural being

If you click that suggestion ---> <Person Jesus>, then run the search (e.g. hit Enter) and get zero results in ESV it is possible that you only have the Logos 7 Basic Library. What happens if you just run a search on Jesus?

What is the latest base package that you own e.g. Logos 6 Bronze?

I usually go a bit beyond that I normally go for the highest package available whatever their naming it these days-Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Portfolio, or something or another. Nothing really happens-just nothing comes up. Initially on another computer that has since died I was upgraded from super six(my name) to seven and on this one (a newer computer) I just downloaded using a Reformed Portfolio Package I purchased to download assuming it downloaded everything else I purchased along the way-afore mentioned package and full feature set and then Logos 7 Collector's Edition Library.

Nothing is coming up when I do that, but what you state makes sense possibly.

When did you download to the new computer? Has it finished indexing?
