Search Syntax

I have an unbelievable mess with my HIGHLIGHTING.

Can someone give me the SYNTAX to find ALL the UNDERLINES, or ALL the YELLOW HIGHLIGHTS etc.

LOGOS NEEDS a "FIND AND REPLACE" like we have in MS Word and Excel. Maybe we have one that I have not seen?

    Graham I have tried the Syntax in the first paragraph. Number 1 and 2 produced nothing. Then I tried as follows "highlight:Blue".

    I got some results, but nothing close to "Blue". It was a real Hodge poge. Did you try the instructions?

    I just tried them and they all worked fine.

    Please post screenshots of the searches you are trying - showing the search string and your results

    Oooffta terrible attachments. As you can see it does not recognize the word "Blue". Not a big deal. But…and a lot of other issues I think. I must have a Beta of V10. You must have the real thing. To me, it is far from ready to be marketable.

    No, this is actually working as intended

    The "yellow" highlighting is simply an indication of the search hit. The search window does not show highlight colours. If you click one of the results to open a Bible to that place, that will be one of the places where you have a blue highlight. But the highlight will not be visible while the search window is open as the same highlight indicator will be present there!

    But…and a lot of other issues I think.

    Do you have any specifics?

    I am running a beta version of Logos 38 but the Logos 10 software shipped over two years ago - so, to respond to your concerns, it would be really helpful to know what they are.
