Help with Hebrew word search

Hi Everyone,

I'm a new Logos user (since BibleWorks went under). I'm trying to search for all occurrences of a Hebrew word, but every time I enter it as a lemma, it comes up with zero hits, which I know is wrong. Can someone please explain to me how to do this?

I use either LHB or BHS.
I open the search bar, searching, basic, Bible, or morph--nothing comes up with any of these.
I enter "lemma:" then I select the word I want (in this case, I'm searching for ʾabnêṭ, but it can be anything, even something common like brʾ).
I hit enter, and no matter what I put in, there are zero hits.

I've included a picture of what's happening.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Even though you posted this in the Logos 10 forum, it appears that you are running Logos 9. In Logos 9 you should not include the lemma: as part of your search term. Just use <Lemma = sesb/he/אַבְנֵט>

    In order to get the autocomplete to prompt you for lemmas, try entering h: and then type the transliterated text of the term you want.

    Hi Douglas - and welcome to Logos and these forums

    I enter "lemma:" then I select the word I want (in this case, I'm searching for ʾabnêṭ, but it can be anything, even something common like brʾ).

    Instead of starting by typing lemma try entering abnet and selecting the option from the dropdown menu. Does that get you the results you are looking for? (Note - my screenshot will appear slightly different to yours as I am running Logos 10 but the functionality should be the same)

    Here is another approach to lemma search:
