Will Smart Bible Searching be included in Inline Search?

With Logos 40 introducing a smart mode for Bible Searches, will this be extended to an Inline Search of a Bible?

More generally, will it be extended to Inline Search in other books? (I can see less of a need for it there)

    Interesting suggestion. Personally, I would have use cases for both scenarios. Regarding book searches, it would save the step of opening search and restricting it to the single book. As Smart Search improves, this will be increasingly helpful. Questions like, "where does this author discuss the topic of…" are especially helpful when one cannot specifically recall the exact vocabulary used in the book.

    Yes, we are working on bringing Smart Search to inline search, but only for Bibles. If all goes well, it will be in v41 or v42.

    That's great news

    Thanks @Mark Barnes (Logos)

    Smart Search tends to work better when it's got a large number of books to pull from. We are continuing to optimize it, and if we get it to a point where it's consistently reliable in a single book, we may add it to inline search. Or maybe, for single books, we'll need to do something different from smart search.
