How to search in my tags?

the trick type:bible , title:greek doesn't work when the field has more than one word.

Use mytag:

Here's the list of all the filters for searching library fields:

I should clarify: these library filters can't be used in searching. They are used for limiting what shows up in your library or in a collection.

The field name is mytag eg. mytag:topic, mytag:note

To get "bible commentary" "bible notes", etc. as well as "bible" use type:bible*

Thanks. I try it on Publication Date before but it doesn't work. It works for My Tags, thanks.

But sometimes we want to search the Publication Date too. say, PublicationDate:1900-2010

P.S. I realize from the link that it is pubdate, thanks! But it still doesn't work for 1900-2010, i.e. a range criteria.

Thanks. the link helps a lot!

I tried the wiki already, but I don't know how to locate this article. I only find the "basic search" and related articles.

The wiki needed to be improved.

For a date range, you would do it this way:

pubdate:>=1900 pubdate:<=2010

The wiki is always a work in progress, constantly being improved. I haven't had as much time to work on it lately as I used to. Steve Clark has added some excellent pages recently, though.

To find something you're looking for, you can browse around, though that's not always guaranteed to find what you want. Or you can use the search box over near the upper left. Unfortunately now that we have all the Bug: pages in there now, you'll often have to wade through a lot of irrelevant hits. And the disadvantage is you have to know what you're looking for in order to find it, which often you don't. I happened to know that the answer to your question was mytag, so I searched for that and found the page quite easily. But if you had searched for "my tags" you would have found two hits, and either one of them would have given you the answer you wanted. It sometimes takes time, and you've got to refine your search criteria to find the best hits, just like searching for stuff in Logos.

You can also use Google searching (as you can for searching on the forum) to get better control of your search results. For example, you could search for all pages on the wiki that mention both "my tags" and search, as follows:

"my tags" search site:wiki.logos.com

The nice thing about Google search hits, too, is they show you a bit of context, so it's easier to weed out the irrelevant hits and zero in on the good ones right away.
