I'd like to change the way my "hits" are highlighted when performing a search in a Bible. Is there a way to do that? Here's an example of what it is now, and what I'd like it to be:

    Just launch a Visual Filter search and copy and paste what you are looking for in the search bar and you can pick the color of your search result. Go to Documents, then from the NEW button launch a Visual Filter search, copy and paste what you're looking for from your search tab, then choose the formatting you want, then close your previous search panel and your visual filter search will resemble what you are wanting from Accordance.

    No because a single search may generate a variable number of color - each representing a hit on some portion of the criteria

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Mark, I believe that I have found a way to somewhat duplicate the way that Accordance highlights your hits when searching your Bible in Logos:

    1. Right click on a word that you are wanting to search in your preferred Bible:

    2. Select the SEARCH button under COPY REFERENCES:

    3. Then click on DOCUMENTS, then click the NEW button, then click on VISUAL FILTER from the drop down list:

    4. Then you want to make sure that the VISUAL FILTER is searching your preferred Bible and you will want to right click in the search window of the VISUAL FILTER and paste the lemma there of the word you want to search:

    5. Then select FORMATTING and select your choice from the drop down list:

    6. Then NAME your search and hit enter to automatically save it, then click X to exit out of the VISUAL FILTER search:

    7. Then select the 3 cannon balls next to your search window on the panel of your open Bible and scroll down to visual filters and you should find the name of the visual filter search that you just ran and deselect it:

    8. Then select the Multibook View button and select the NA28 from the drop down list:

    9. Then, select INLINE SEARCH, and then RIGHT CLICK on the English word that you just ran your VISUAL FILTER SEARCH on and select the lemma and then select the SEARCH button under COPY REFERENCE panel:

    10. Then RIGHT CLICK and PASTE the lemma in the INLINE SEARCH panel:

    One crucial step that I overlooked was that you HAVE to have your NA28 opened in the MULTIBOOKS display when doing your VISUAL FILTER SEARCH. Sorry about that, my mistake:

    11. Then select the 3 cannonball icon next to the INLINE SEARCH button and select the NAME of your search document from the drop down list under VISUAL FILTERS then your search will resemble what you are used to in Accordance:

    I know it's a lot of steps, but that is the best workaround that I know of to get what you are looking for and you can save a lot of cool searches doing these steps.
