Library filter for "one volume" commentaries

I would like to be able to filter in the Logos software library the commentaries classified as "One volume" (abridged and the whole bible all in a few volumes) just as I can filter them in the Online Store (see this link to the store).

For me, and I think for others too, having the ability to filter in the library and create a collection with "one volume" comments would be very useful because these comments quickly and directly provide information for immediate use. And when we need more depth, we can go to the larger comments. See in Feedback

In the meantime, a work-around.

Here's a collection rule that works for me.

type:bible-commentary AND ({Series None} AND ((subject:"Bible—Commentaries" ANDNOT subject:"Bible—Commentaries—Collected works") OR (subject:”Bible. O.T.--Commentaries” AND subject:”Bible. .N.T.--Commentaries”) OR subject:"bible handbooks" OR subject:"bible introductions") ANDNOT title:volumes) OR {MyTag "commentary-one-volume"}

Has anything been missed? Maybe a volume or two, but it tracks nicely with the volumes that the Logos store says I own that it labels as one volume commentaries.

(This is not my creation. I believe it is one created by Mark Barnes, once of MVP fame and now a Logos employee.)

Another work-around is in Logos Wiki => Canonical Commentary Collections
