Library Find Filters List
I know I can filter resources in the library find box. Is there a list of supported filters. I know of type: and a few more. I'd like to learn them all or at least more of them.

What does it say about the general quality of software help systems that I never ever even think to look at them anymore.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a look.

I find the Help quite useful and easy to navigate.
Library Filter Fields
Use filters to reduce the number of items in the Resource list in Library and Collections. To filter the resource list, type one of the filter fields below, followed by a colon, and then the filter. To type a multi-word filter (that is, one containing spaces), enclose the filter in double quotes.
For example, type:dictionary will show all resources that have “Dictionary” as their resource type, but title:dictionary will match resources that have the word “dictionary” in their title. title:"english standard version" will match a resource with that phrase in the title (note the quotations marks surrounding the filter phrase).
Supported library filter fields:
• abbrev — Abbreviated title. abbrev:nas displays only those resources with title abbreviations that begin with “nas”.
• alttitle — Alternate title. alttitle:Bible displays only those resources with the word “Bible” in their alternate title.
• author — Author. author:smith displays only those resources by an author with the name “Smith”.
• communitytag — Community tag. communitytag:illustrations displays only those resources with “illustrations” as a community tag
• devices — This filter isolates resources that are downloaded to a Logos mobile application. You can search for a given device by typing in the exact name of the device, or by using devices:* to search for all resources that were sent to an external device.
• edition — Edition, that is, what sort of editorial process was used to create the resource. edition:logos displays only resources built by Logos for Logos Bible Software and purchased by the user, filtering out “User Created” and “eBook” (Vyrso) resources.

• subject — Subject the resource is about. subject:"bible study" displays only those resources tagged with the “Bible Study” subject heading. Note that quotation marks (" ") are used to specify a multi-word filter.
• tag< — Resource tag. Includes both personal and community tags. tag:homiletics displays only those resources with either a personal or a community tag of “homiletics”.

Let me be clear. I wasn’t criticizing Logos’ help files. I was speaking generally about software as a whole. I don’t bother anymore because they almost always stink, no matter what program you’re using. So it is a pleasant surprise to find a decent one, like this case.
