BUG: Searching in the LSB

Pastor Michael Huffman

When trying to search for the phrase "angel of light" in the LSB, returned no results under passage search, but found them under "fuzzy search." When searching the same phrase in the NASB95 under passage search, it found the phrase in 2 Corinthians 11:14. Could this be a bug in the LSB that needs to be addressed? Are there other places where this resource will not return the correct results and; therefore, is not trustworthy? Could it be because FL made this a part of a base package that they rushed the release of this when things needed to be checked over a little better? Say add the Interlinear when the resource is released and also make sure that the footnotes work (which got fixed..Thank you, FL), and make sure that searching is accurate.

There is a discussion of a similar issue at https://community.logos.com/forums/t/211563.aspx 

(Thought it worth linking them together)

And as Mick notes there, it looks as though this issue appears when there is a footnote marker just before the first word of the search term.

To demonstrate this, a search for "of light" works fine

So clearly a bug and looks like there is an issue with the placement of footnote markers.

Ah, the old release it when it may be good, release it only when it is great, don't litter my library with something imperfect quandry: Faithlife truly has to thread the needle with users' expectations.

Hi! 

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This issue is related to the one reported in the post that Graham shared (thanks for pointing that!). We're working on a fix and will send out an update soon. 

Have a great day!

I'm using Logos Max 38.1.2 and I get no results search for "elect" in the LSB.

But a fuzzy search shows this (screenshot is part of the text):

Likewise, a search for 'faith' in the LSB shows only 72 occurrences, with the last one in Jer 5:3, even though a word study of faith shows 80 occurrences in the OT and 298 in the NT for the LSB.

Hi Jody - and welcome to the forum

I think this is an unrelated issue to the problem discussed in this thread and in my copy of the LSB I get the expected search results

I recommend reindexing the LSB and seeing if that fixes the problem. You can do that by entering the reindex command in the command box and selecting the option from the dropdown.

If that doesn't fix the problem, I recommend starting a new thread in this forum and we'll try to work out what is going on.

Thank you, Graham. I just completed a reindex of the LSB and that did fix the problem. It now works! Thank you!
