Recurring Verses in a book/bible search

Mark Reasoner

Hello all, I have a question about how to perform a logos search feature. I have been a Logos user for years, and use it almost every day, but Im not able to figure out if I can search repeated verses in a book. 

I am currently translating the book of Leviticus. In Leviticus, many phrases, words, and entire verses are repeated-- for example, Leviticus 3:4 and 3:9 are the exact same. I would like to keep my translation consistent throughout, and also save time and energy by copying what I already have, rather than re-translating the same phrases over again. 

I know I can highlight a verse or phrase and use the search function, but I was wondering if there is a way that I can search, or see all repeated phrases or verses that are the same. Let me know if this is possible or a way I can do this.

Thank you so much,

Mark

That is not possible. Phrases and verses are arbitrary text elements and it would take an lot of time just to compare a single 'phrase' with the rest of the book (whether Hebrew/Aramaic or Greek), and a simple text Search (or Morph Query) cannot compare arbitrary length text segments.  Morph Query can find words that repeat two or more times in succession, ignoring verse boundaries.

It is more productive to search for phrases that you can enter into a Search box.
