Improvements suggestion for natural language verse finder (mobile)

EDIT: comment below clarifying what I mean, mobile Bible search could use some improvement

"What verse did Jesus talk about fulfilling the law?"

"What did Paul say about fruits of the Spirit?"

"What is the verse in the Old Testament where the king of Israel gets his ear damaged and blood on his toe?"

The new smart search tool is cool (though, I must shout out www.bibleai.com as an impressive and free alternative), but what would be really killer is a simple natural language verse finder (with offline search results if possible). I can't remember verse chapter/numbers ever but know roughly what someone was talking about so a natural language finder would be a killer feature. I currently use ChatGPT primarily for finding Bible verses, it is much quicker and more concise than Logos new smart search feature and it is more accessible than the legacy "fuzzy search" search feature which works pretty well but doesn't take natural language.

EDIT: comment below clarifying what I mean, mobile Bible search needs still needs some work. Desktop seems fine from the screenshots I see shared.

2nd EDIT: resolved, didn't see the granular search option for "smart search" "Bible only"

    I'm sorry but I don't see what you are asking for in addition to what the smart Bible search currently provides - please clarify

    I tried www.bibleai.com as I'd not heard of it before. Unfortunately, it failed my first test - the ten ritual commandments.

    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."

    Forgive me, I use the iPad version 99% of the time. The smart search feature in there is less straightforward than this for verse finding

    This is the mobile Logos version, fine for an answer but clearly designed around searching entire library.

    (It is worth noting also that on mobile when you switch to Bible only search, there is no AI search, but there is "fuzzy" search which looks for keywords but doesn't recognize natural language.)

    Here is a generic ChatGPT running in DuckDuckGo that is superior at the task despite being a general purpose AI.

    I guess I should have titled this post Bible Search Improvements suggestion. Also worth improving is the fact that if you swipe away from search results and come back, you have to run the AI search results all over again which eats up Logos meager AI quota on the Bible Study tier.

    sorry - I missed you were using mobile.

    But exactly the same applies- you need to switch from an All search to a Bible search

    Ok I see, I missed that smart search was available on mobile for Bible only search (I swear I looked for it earlier and it wasn't there). Thank you sir.
