See https://community.logos.com/forums/p/221628/1293409.aspx#1293409  for the genesis of the problem.

I had assumed the difference was due to books not available to purchase in Verbum, but "The Backyard Homestead Guide to raising farm animals" is a result in Logos that is not even available in Verbum (using the Find box), whilst the Cart symbol does not allow me to buy it.

    Different results for AI Search between Logos and Verbum

    This is expected. Verbum searches a narrower selection of unowned books.

    I'm not sure I follow what you are trying to say about "The Backyard Homestead Guide to raising farm animals". Can you provide more detail?

    Why is it expected that Verbum searches a narrower selection?  The Print Library (under Availability) is the same 218270 books as Logos, but availability to Purchase is discouragingly small. Is this the narrower selection?

    This particular book is not available in Verbum (together with 4 related titles). So Is the Verbum 218270 misleading?

    Seems to be so. 

    This book (which of course is part of the https://general.ebooks.faithlife.com offering) is not available in the three online stores logos.com, verbum.com and ebooks.faithlife.com; it does not show in the add to library section of the Verbum desktop app library, but it does for the Logos desktop app library - can't be bought through the app since it's currently not listed in the logos.com store.

    Possibly the Logos AI was trained when all of the books were available through the logos.com store

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    Why is it expected that Verbum searches a narrower selection?

    It is expected because we intentionally limited the search on Verbum. I believe some upcoming tweaks to this are expected, but the same basic principle will be true.

    This particular book is not available in Verbum (together with 4 related titles).

    I believe that book may fall into the category of things that may be tweaked on Verbum.

    We have a case open to improve this situation. A combination of factors leads to this situation.
