Remove Highlighting in a Bible search

Kevin S. Coy, OFS

I did a search of my bible for speaker:Jesus. It gave me the results I expected. Then when I went to my bible, placed it next to the search panel in a second column, all the verses were highlighted. As you can imagine my whole NT is practically highlighted. The same results occur if I do a bible inline search.

How do I get rid of the highlights? I went to formatting and view in the new dynamic tool bar and tried everything to turn off the highlights in the bible to no avail.

How do I turn off the highlights in my bible that are a result of a search?

Thanks in advance.

Currently, the only way of doing this is by closing the search window.

I know this might not be ideal - and others have suggested this is changed

Thanks Graham!

I think closing my search window as a solution is unfortunate. I hope it is changed in future updates.

Peace,

Clearing the search on the search panel will also clear the highlights with Logos 39.0 on Mac OS 14.7.2

Thanks. How do I do that without losing the results of the search?

Or clearing the search argument (and hitting enter?) IIRC

Clearing the search in the Search panel has always been a way to remove Search highlights in a book(s).

How do I do that without losing the results of the search?

You can't have a Search without highlights! What are you trying to achieve?
You can save a Search to Favorites or Shortcuts Bar by dragging.

Thanks Dave.

Not trying to achieve anything in particular. I don't like highlights mostly. I find them a distraction.

Thanks,

I think the idea is that a search is designed to be used temporarily and then closed. It highlights the results so you can quickly identify what you're searching for. A search that didn't do this would be cumbersome at best. If one would like the option to toggle highlights on and off for a particular search, a visual filter would be able to accomplish this.

One option would be to send the search results to a Passage List. Then you can close the search panel to turn off the highlighting and work your way through the results using the passage list. You may or may not want to delete the passage list when you are done with it.

Thank you all for your responses.

@Andrew Batishko - I think your solution will work best for me. Thank you.

God bless,
