    And here's how Smart Bible Search would treat List the bible verses where God says that He will not hear someone's prayer.

    Of the verses @Top8305 was looking for, it returned all of them except Proverbs 1:28 and Job 35:12, and includes many more that NTSK omits.

    We've still got some work to do before this feature is ready for beta testing, but I'm excited by its potential.

    I'll admit that this has the potential to be a very valuable addition to the Smart Search Feature!

    This poses an interesting question. Are the results from resources that are not among our "preferred" resources as valid as the ones from "our" preferred resources? Do they have adequate context, so we know they reliably address the search from our God-honoring, Biblical point of view?

    What we are speaking about here is religious bias (Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Congregational, etc.)

    In other words, can we trust Logos, now and in the future, to provide Biblical non-biased results in these AI searches?

    Hi @David Benjamin - and welcome to the forums

    Are the results from resources that are not among our "preferred" resources as valid as the ones from "our" preferred resources?

    Valid is probably a judgment call as some people will have different preferred resources, and views on validity, to others.

    To restrict the scope of searches to a particular set of books - "preferred resources" - we can do a Smart Books Search. Doing this will ensure that only results from those resources will be presented.

    In other words, can we trust Logos, now and in the future, to provide Biblical non-biased results in these AI searches?

    It's a wide question but, in general, I think the answer is no - and this isn't a comment about the quality or reliability of the software. But because these searches are being conducted against a set (narrow or wide) of resources which will contain a range of points of view and will, nearly always if not always, reflect some degree of bias.

    (My comments here don't extend to the Biblical Smart Search that Bradley and Mark outline above as I don't have details on how that works)
