L/V 10 Tip of the Day #100 Questions asked by Jesus

MJ. Smith

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 as should this Reading List within the application.

This tip is inspired by the forum post: Jesus’ Questions - Logos Forums

This is an example of there being many ways to accomplish the search; you may wish to try more than one to see where and if the results differ.

Useful, but the extra results are marginal in the sense that the verses are immediately adjacent to a result from the main term. There may have been an oversight in compiling the datasets.
