Searching Sermon documents i.e. your own sermons

Basic information (2017) from Andrew Batishko (Faithlife):[1] [quote]

Currently the following Sermon Label attributes are supported for searching Sermon documents:

• Title
• Creator
• References

I've created a case to make the Series and Date attributes also searchable. [completed]

In addition to doing a label search (which will also return sermons that have been tagged in your library), you can also do a search that finds values in specific fields. The following fields are supported:

• title
• author
• church
• series
• date - I think this may be document creation date, not the occasion date
• tag topic
• tag passage
• audience
• description
• notes
• content

I'll create a case to add the occasion date and venue fields as well. [completed]

Some example searches would be:

• series:"In the Beginning"
• [field tag topic]love
• [field date]<Date second half of 2016>

Sample searches depends upon the contents of your sermon documents. Note that the fields for sermons are not visible in the search fields selection menu.

Using the field search:
