Simple text search
Is it possible to do a simple text search, as in Word or a PDF document, in a single resource (e.g. Greek for the Rest of Us) ?

Yes, it's called Inline Search. You will see a magnifying glass icon at the top of your resource. Press that and it should do what you want.
Others (who are more knowledgeable than I am) may have other suggestions.

OK, just discovered it.
Ctrl+Find seems to be the way to go.

Yes - it is the closest to replicating what you are describing
But James' suggestion regarding Inline Search as well worth exploring - it provides additional search capability while within the resource.
For information on how it works and what it provides please see https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016524471-Inline-Search

As much as I have invested in Logos, surely its search is better than Google? I still haven't gotten the hang of search in Logos. If you wanted to find the passage that has the (approximate?) phrase "laborers together with Christ", what's the quickest way to do this?
By contrast, I open Safari, type "laborers together with Christ", and Google instantly gives me the answer I'm looking for: 1 Corinthians 3:9 - "For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon."
-Google found the right text even though I misremembered it. (it's "laborers together with God" not "laborers together with Christ")
-Google didn't care about "labourers" vs "laborers".
-Google found it in a different translation than I had open.
What's the quickest way to search all Bibles for "laborers together with Christ" in Logos?

Hi Andy, and welcome to the forum! For future reference, you will usually get better results by posting a new thread. But what you want to use is the "fuzzy search." On a Bible search, just click fuzzy and it will search for approximate matches. You can drag the window to the toolbar and it will make a shortcut to go straight up a fuzzy search.

Welcome [:D]
One initial Logos (or Verbum) search is phrase "laborers together with Christ" that finds nothing.
If online, can try fuzzy search for phrase "laborers together with Christ" that does not find 1 Corinthians 3:9 in a Bible that has "laborers together with God"
Logos search modification is removing word(s) from phrase: e.g. "laborers together with" (as Google did automatically)
Fuzzy Search of phrase "laborers together with" finds 1 Corinthians 3:9 in many translations: "God's co-workers", "God's fellow workers", "labourers together with God" (KJV)
