When will Morph Query Builder go mainstream?
I know that the Morph Query Builder is currently a beta feature only available through Logos Now.
I was surprised to see the Morph Query document option listed in Logos 7 for someone who did not have Logos Now. It is also explained in detail in the help document. This implies this feature will be released to users without Logos Now at some point.
Does anyone know when Morph Query Builder will become part of the standard Logos software without a Logos Now subscription?

I would be skeptical of anyone on the forums (other than a Faithlife employee) who claims to have such knowledge.I would be surprised if Logos talked about future release plans with any specificity.

Before Logos 7 came out, I remember reading that one advantage of Logos Now is that you will get Logos 7 features before anyone else. I assumed the Morph Query Builder would come out in Logos 8. But the fact that it showed up in the Help and on the menu in Logos 7.5 made me wonder if Logos plans to release it more broader sooner or perhaps had even done so for certain base packages.

It shows up in the help file because all features (should) show up in the help file. Note the "Now" indicator at the top of the section in the help file.
It shows up in the documents menu now because all documents and panels and guide sections show up in the menu now for all users. This doesn't mean they are usable by all users. Instead, activating these features displays a special interface with a description of the feature, and links to purchase packages that contain the feature.

Generally speaking, it's reasonable to assume that Logos Now features will be made available more widely in Logos 8. However, that assumption shouldn't necessarily apply to features that require ongoing use of Logos' servers to work. For such features it's difficult to price in the cost upfront, and so they may only ever be available by subscription. The Morph Query Builder searches are run on Logos' servers, so therefore we shouldn't assume it will be available even in Logos 8. That said, Faithlife have recently made an exception for the Bible Browser (which is now in the extended feature set for purchase), so perhaps they will with this as well.
This is my personal Faithlife account. On 1 March 2022, I started working for Faithlife, and have a new 'official' user account. Posts on this account shouldn't be taken as official Faithlife views!

Thanks. I did not see that.
