BUGS in Smart Search

1) When I include a Greek word in a Smart Bible search, my search is automatically changed to a Precise search. Search does not alert me to the fact that it has switched to Precise search, but it does so nonetheless. The release notes say this will only happen when the "entire query is in Greek or Hebrew." Smart All search and Smart Books search now allow you to include a Greek word in your search, which is great.

2) Smart Books search does not automatically switch to Precise when the entire query is included in quotes.

3) Smart All search switches to Precise when I enter a Bible reference, but it does not notify me that it has done so. Smart Bible search and Smart Books search do provide a notification of this switch.

4) Smart Bible search does not know how to deal with finding 0 results. It displays an error message, when instead it should simply indicate that no relevant results were able to be found for my search.

    SMART search thinks I'm using a free preview and then doesn't provide me with any results. Instead it defaults to Precise search.

    NOTE: I have a MAX subscription, and I'm using the v40 Beta 3 set-up.

    See screengrab of actual search and the message that was returned.

    Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    @Philip C. Bennett you are doing a Smart Bible Search. That feature is currently still in Beta and is only fully usable if you join the Beta testing Faithlife group in order to get access to a temporary license. Details are available in the post introducing the feature:

    Andrew, thanks for your reply.

    I thought I had joined the Beta community at the start of February by typing "set update channel to beta" into the command bar. Is this what you're referring to?

    Thanks, Phil B.

    No, he is referring to the Faithlife group which is hot linked to the "this Faithlife group" in his screen shot and given in the announcement of the beta.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Hi @Philip C. Bennett! Here is the link you need for joining the Beta Testing Faithlife group. This group is what grants temporary licenses for the features that are in beta testing.
