Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10 Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up.

This tip is based on the forum post: Searching for questions in a resource Logos 10 - Faithlife Forums and uses Noord, Rebecca Van, and Jessi Strong, eds. 40 Days to the Cross: Reflections from Great Thinkers. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2014. as the example.

  • Faithlife codes sentences as declarative, interrogatory, and imperative but only in Bibles so that won't work.
  • Faithlife codes some questions for the Questions and Answers label function - but this is incomplete within a resource and limited to specific resources.
  • A Search will not search for a question mark; it is recognized only as a character used in defining "wild card" searches.
  • But it can be done with a bit of work on the part of the user in capturing the results.
    • A find is a character-by-character exact match that can be used to find a question mark
    • Open the panel menu (kebab icon) (1)
    • Select Find (in this panel (2)
    • Enter ? as the Find character (3)
    • Use the prior/next icons (4) to navigate the results
    • Note the highlighted ? as a matched character (5)
    • For the fun of it, note the orange vertical line on Table of Contents showing where you are in the resource.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
