AND search not working
Anyone notice the AND operator search is not working correctly. As least as I think it is supposed to work. For example, putting in Pharisee AND Sabbath returned 2,960 hits in my library. And, Pharisee and Sabbath are not listed in each hit. Then, adding AND work, returns 3062 hits instead of fewer hits. What is wrong here? The only way to narrow down the search is to do WITHIN 4 WORDS or a similar operator. Anyone else having this problem? I do not remember it happening before Logos 10.

Hi Rick - and welcome to the forums.
This sounds very strange, please post screenshots of your searches (use the paperclip icon in the forum editor)

Are you looking at Fuzzy search results by any chance?

The increased result count makes sense to me. For the case of Pharisee AND Sabbath, an article that has each of those words once will show up as 2 results in 1 article. For the case of Pharisee AND Sabbath AND work, an article that has each of those words once will show up as 3 results in 1 article.
From your screenshots, you can see that the search with work has results in only 119 articles instead of 184, indicating that it is finding fewer articles that match, not more articles. It's just that there are a larger count of words that match the criteria.
If you are looking for all the words to be visible in the preview in the search panel, then be aware that it's only a preview, and doesn't display the entire article (where the rest of the matches will be found). If you navigate to that result in the resource, you will find all the words marked in the article.
