A question about searching multiple words from the Selection Menu

I thought that if we used the Text Selection Menu to generate a search on more than one word, Logos ran that as a Bible Search on the phrase.

If running the search on a single word in a biblical text, Logos would use a Morph Search.

This seems to be the case in English Bibles but in a Greek Bible, a Morph Search is used when searching multiple words. Is this how it has always been?

It does - whether English or original language bible.

Nope! Uses a Bible Search from the Selection menu.

The Selection menu does not generate a lemma/Morph Search - in Windows.

Hi Dave

I've looked into this a bit further and it looks like this depends on the Prefer Lemma setting.

If it is on, a selection menu search on a single word in a biblical text is a morph search

If it is off, the search is a Bible search

Would that explain the difference we are seeing?

And I've come across a response by Andrew in another thread that clarifies it further - https://community.logos.com/forums/p/215994/1258222.aspx#1258222

It does. And it reinforces why I do not normally allow the Selection menu in Settings.
