This functionality requires a license to access it. Please join this Faithlife group if you'd like to participate in testing smart Bible search.

Smart Bible search gives you the ability to easily search individual Bibles for whatever you are looking for, without needing to know special syntax. Now you can use natural language to search your Bible in a brand new way, using this new mode to run searches like courageous women or care for the needy.

Smart Bible search typically finds more relevant verses faster than using Precise search and results will be shown in order of relevance rather than canonical or resource order. This search mode will also use the Smart search engine by default, unless you enter Precise search syntax (such as using an exact phrase/in quotes, query contains special syntax, or the entire query is in Greek or Hebrew).

With the release of smart Bible search, we will introduce the ability for users without a subscription to try it out. In order to receive beta testing on that, we will remove the license for smart Bible search from beta testing earlier than normal to allow for adequate time to test trying it without a license.

This new search mode is available on the desktop app, web app, and mobile app. Let us know what you think about smart Bible search in the comments below!

    Hi @Antony Brennan, can you confirm that you're using the Testflight App to receive beta updates to the app? If you do but the update hasn't installed automatically, you should be able to open Testflight and manually download the lastest beta version of Logos. If not, instructions on how to join the mobile beta program can be found here:

    @Anna Adent As stated elsewhere:

    I like that new Smart Bible Search, e.g.

    "highlight all words based on g:paradidomi"

    By clicking on the scriptural reference, my Standard Bible is opened with the whole verse is highlighted.

    I wonder if it is possible to ´automatically´(or by giving a certain command) assign the searched word a permanent highlight?

    @NichtnurBibelleser I'm glad to hear you are liking the new Smart Bible Search!

    I'm not sure I fully understand the details of your feature/functionality request. I do want to make sure it's not buried in this thread about Smart Bible search though. Would you mind creating a new Feedback post and adding more details or use case?

    Done. I hope that the description is clearer now.

    I do want to make sure it's not buried in this thread about Smart Bible search though.

    Thanks, @Anna Adent, for being so considerate.
