    Finally, the short form of language:term allows one to apply a language requirement to only one search term. For example, English:"Agnus Dei", "miserere nobis", "dona nobis pacem" requires “Agnus Dei” to be tagged as English but makes demands on the language of the other two search terms.

    It makes NO "demands on the language of the other two search terms".

    From Verbum Help:[quote]

    Search Fields

    Search fields are just names applied to certain special areas of resources that have been marked so they can be searched exclusively. For example, in Bibles, all of the actual biblical text exclusive of headings, footnotes, indicators, and so on is said to be in the bible field.

    Fields are applied to terms in two ways:

    •     fieldName1,fieldName2:term — One or more fields joined by commas (without spaces) prefixed to the term with a colon

    •     ([field fieldName1, fieldName2] term) — One or more fields joined by commas in square brackets [field ...]

    If you attempt the first "way", you will find it is the same as fieldName1 OR fieldName2:term  because of the comma! Try it with something like heading,largetext:bozrah where heading will be treated as a search term, not a field name. With or without space, OR is the expected interpretation. Logos Help is also wrong.

    Oops big typo ... I thought the "no" [:$]

    Aargh, I hate it when Help is incorrect. Thank you for double checking me.
