The reason the search is failing is because you are searching the SURFACE text (or "bible text") for "deuteronomy 28." The surface text won't have that.
what do you mean Surface text?? I have not changed my methods since Logos 7 and it used to work in Logos 8. It says "enter a passage" or phrase. And that is what I did/
Also I chose the option to search Deut 28 in ESV bible as well and same lack of results.
Are you trying to find occurrences of the phrase “Deuteronomy 28“ or navigate to it in a Bible?
The first won’t work as that phrase doesn’t appear in the actual biblical text.
if the second, try using the Lookup option in the command box as opposed to the search option
