L/V 10+ Tip of the Day #235 Vocabulary matters (sometimes)
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: 26.0.21 cannot find 1 John 1:7 - Logos Forums.
When is the last time your Bible study teacher instructed you to search for 1 John 1:7 or to find 1 John 1:7? When is the last time your Bible study teacher instructed you to go to 1 John 1:7 or to look up 1 John 1:7? I am assuming that both you and your Bible study teacher are native speakers of American English. And, yes, I know it is possible to create special counter-examples. But over the last year or so we have had multiple examples of people who distinguish between look up/search in regular language fail to do so on the computer and think the search function is failing.
In Logos, this basic distinction breaks down into:
- go to or lookup --> use the navigation box
- search or find --> use the find box, the inline search box, or the search panel.
In this screen shot, lookup is on the left, search is on the right. Notice how different the results are.
