Filtering books in library
I've known for a long time that the filter in the library does not work if I type filter parameters into the search box. Presumably, for example, clicking the filter button and selecting "Bible" as type should show the same results as typing "type:Bible" in the search box. But the former only shows things classified as Bible type (which is what we want) and the later seems to show anything that focuses on a biblical topic! I wonder if there's a plan to fix that very old bug.
I know I can click the filter button to limit results that way, but that is sometimes very awkward and besides, the app itself suggests the filter option. For example, if I type "t", the search box suggests "type:" right away.
I'm on Android and everything is current.

I can also confirm this. We have opened a ticket for this issue.

Thank you, Joe!
I don't want to overtax the project to address this particular ticket, but there are several elements about the Mobile App's Library that does not work, at least not in the way it does in the desktop application. For example, the discussion in https://community.logos.com/forums/t/224559.aspx indicates that
title:*
should pull up everything since, as Bradley says, "all books have a title". This is just another example, but there are lots of things that do not work as it does in the desktop app, and do not work when the filter button is clicked. (Another example is when two filter elements are typed in.)
Thanks!
