Excellent point. Thank you.

Can the colours of hyperlinked bible verses and footnote indicators be adjusted for dark mode? Not sure if you can see my screenshot, but I almost cannot read "1 Kings 7:46" in dark blue against a dark grey background in my synopsis.

This should already be fixed in the current beta version.

@Locksmythe thanks for the suggestion of AI search on Mehra. It’s something I’ve looked at before, so not new but great to see how easily the information came up, even in the web app on my iPad.
AS I usually do, I compared the synopsis from All search with he one from Book search - minor editorial differences because I own the references that All search found.
If you open the links citations that the synopsis comes up with then I was pleased to see that the relevant selection was highlighted and clicking on Add Anchor in the note inserted it as a text anchor. It was also easy to copy and paste the highlighted text into the note.
I’ve just finished my degree, I’m not sure if I’m envious of the students to come or disappointed that they will mis shout on some of the chasing of information!

la sinopsis es demasiado superficial y cita libros que no tienen que ver con el tema tratado.

ES muy buena. Amplia el conocimiento y es rápida; una bendición

Can you have smart search synopsis pull in material from your notes? I've got a lot of notes, and I'd like AI to engage with the material I've written too.
If this question has already been asked on one of the numerous AI threads on the forums, I'm sorry! I tried searching and didn't find anything relevant to my question. We need a smart search synopsis for the forums.
Thanks.0 -

Not at the moment - but I believe I've seen something from Logos (can't find it now) where they say this is something they would like to do.

Finally, Logos has a search that will respond to a general question. I've had to go to AI sites to get answers to general questions like "what is the distance between Antioch and Jerusalem." I found that Logos was inadequate to answer these type of questions. The Smart Search is an improvement. It is also helpful that it lists the sources of the information it provides. This allows the user to accomplish an in-depth study using the sources of information. I think this is a vast improvement over the Logos searches available in the past.

Smart Search is an excellent tool. It would be great if the results were stored so they were available when you reopen a layout. That way one can continue to work with the list of resources included in the results. Great product! Thanks

AI Search is a great feature. I love it and use it daily. It saves a lot of searching in commentaries. For example, " Can Psalm 40:17 be an expression of humility?"
However, language settings may need some improvement. When I ask my questions in English (though I also possess Dutch resources), only English resources are used. More annoying, when I ask my question in Dutch, only Dutch resources are used, only a fragment of my library. That's not good. I'd like to ask a question in Dutch while using all resources to get an answer.
Related to this: It would be very helpful if AI answers could be translated by choice. Sometimes I prefer an English answer, sometimes I'd like to translate it into Dutch.
I hope these remarks are helpful to further improve this already great feature!

Smart Search Strike out big time:
Reading Isaiah, during Advent, I run into Isa 1:15: And when you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away my eyes from you: and when you multiply prayer, I will not hear: for your hands are full of blood.
So I query Smart Search Synopsis
Q: List the bible verses where God says that He will not hear someone's prayerA.I. answer:
According to the provided articles, there are no specific Bible verses mentioned where God explicitly states that He will not hear someone's prayer. In fact, one of the articles emphasizes that God hears prayers, citing 1 John 5:14-15 which states that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us[1]. Another article mentions Psalm 4:3, asserting that "God hears every prayer"[2]. The articles generally focus on the importance of prayer, God's willingness to listen, and the need for perseverance in prayer[3]. It's worth noting that the provided information does not directly address the user's query about instances where God says He will not hear prayers.
[1] Dabbs, M., “He Hears”, Moment with God: A Devotional on Every Biblical Book (ed. J. D. Barry – R. Van Noord) (Bellingham, WA 2014).
[2] Veerman, D., Bible Study Youth (Bellingham, WA 2024).
[3] Boulding, M. with Saint Augustine, Expositions of the Psalms 51–72 (ed. J. E. Rotelle) (The Works of Saint Augustine: A Translation for the 21st Century; Hyde Park, NY 2001) XVII, 306.WRONG ANSWER, NO GO at this Station.
from the NTSK: at Isa 1:15 Is *59:2. Ps +66:18. Pr 1:28. Mi 3:4. Jn +*9:31
(Also elsewhere in NTSK Pro 1:28; Psalm 18:41; Job 27:9, 35:12; Proverbs 28:9; Zechariah 7:13)
That’s twelve (12) verses relating to God NOT hearing prayer.
When Smart Search gets it wrong, it is not only a wasted of credit(s), but its a waste of time and potentially deleterious disinformation.

Query: Wrath of God applied to believers
Returns 12 Locked (unowned) resources of the first 20 provided, the rest of the initial generated list fares no better. I have a decent Library of 7,400+ resources at significant expense and I get 60% unowned resources in a Smart Search??
If I query my Library with ("Wrath of God" OR "God's Wrath") NEAR believers , I yield:
Your Books 583 results in 249 articles in 186 resources
If a Smart Search is returning 60% unowned resources while missing the plethora of information in my owned library as indicated in this simple query, there is something wrong. Granted, my query is not answered, and I have to research for it, but it's better than me being force fed an answer which researching the provided resources is problematic.
BTW, when will the Smart Search provide arguments and references to all (or at least most) orthodox positions rather than dogmatically stating only one in the Synopsis? Especially given the variance in belief among the Baptized Faithful in Christ, this feature or capability seems absent. If I run my query, I will encounter the various beliefs in there differences, contradictions, and supports.

Smart Search Strike out big time,@Top8305 Just an observation, but I've noticed not all of your searches are AI, they are Precise searches. Check the top right before you hit enter to make sure the AI sparkle icon is showing.
You may try rewording some of you AI searches also. Granted I've found AI doesn't do as well with natural language Bible searches as it does in other books

I note the continuance with 4-5 duplicated posts on this AI query. I will state only that AI is nuanced to its sources in combination with your query. I got a more balanced Synopsis from a Book Search with "where does God say that He will not listen to prayer" and it understands that "does God say that He will not listen to prayer" is different.
In general, I am prepared to rephrase Queries for a better result. In your case ("list") it is clear that a Precise search is better. Other users find that AI is better for their queries.

60% unowned does not indicate something is wrong as I got a similar result with 3200 in my library. The Logos catalog is much bigger, and any emphasis would come from judging which resources provide a better answer to your query. The common Synopsis from Books/ALL is "The concept of God's wrath as applied to believers is a complex theological topic". You need to state how your query was not answered in that your were "force fed an answer". Your Precise Search provides a dumb summary without regard to the context i.e. was it part of a discussion?
Don't get me wrong, here. AI has its faults as when relegating a good answer from Books Search to the lower regions of an ALL Search.
BTW, when will the Smart Search provide arguments and references to all (or at least most) orthodox positions rather than dogmatically stating only one in the Synopsis? Especially given the variance in belief among the Baptized Faithful in Christ, this feature or capability seems absent. If I run my query, I will encounter the various beliefs in there differences, contradictions, and supports.
If you want a nuanced result then feed it appropriate books from your Library or attempt to limit the answer to specific beliefs. I have known it to quote specific positions, but that came directly from the source text.

AI Search can be improved in the selection of resources to find it's answer. It often uses resources of little scientific value, while I have lots of better resources. E.g.:
LOGOS AI Search, Books, collection Commentaries:OT "what do commentaries write about dwelling in Gods house in Psalm 84:4?"
The only references are to J.N. Darby and John Wesley, very outdated resources. Not very relevant. I don't understand this selection of resources.
