Simpler Search

A simpler search syntax and clearer UI makes searching quicker and more intuitive, opening up the power of Logos Search to you!

What is it?

You no longer need to remember angle brackets and curly braces, but use a simple keyword:value syntax familiar from Google and other search engines. 

For example,  <Person Moses> WITHIN {Speaker <Person Jesus>} becomes person:Moses IN speaker:Jesus, to find all the times Jesus talks about Moses. 

“Search All’’ results pages intelligently surface results in the most relevant datasets, without you needing to know the dataset exists, nor the special syntax that dataset requires.

If you use the older syntax, Logos will automatically convert it to the new syntax for you.

How to access it?

  1. Open the Logos 10 Web app.

  2. Click on the Search icon (the magnifying glass) in the toolbar.

  3. Type in “person:Moses IN speaker:Jesus” and hit Enter/Return.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on this new feature. Please provide your feedback in the comments below.
