ALL Search

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Please create an option for the "All" search to ONLY search your library. I don't care about books I don't own outside of my own library, and it's ALWAYS books outside my library that are prioritized and put at the top, and they definitely do not ever express what I'm looking for.

A Books search will only search your library.

Except it only searches books. I want it to search all the categories available, just not stuff that's not in my library

All search is for when you want to search all the books in Logos's catalog. It will not search anything else.

We use the other individual search categories as needed (Books, Factbook, Docs, etc.). We no longer have a search function that searches all categories at once.

All search does search through all categories, including factbook and documents. However, it is unfortunately true that one cannot choose to perform an All search only on owned books. This functionality was lost with the move to the subscription model.

@Aaron Hamilton Thanks for confirming.

This issue was present even BEFORE the subscription model. I realize I can only search books and get only what's in my library. The point is that I shouldn't have to. If I quickly want to search for anything in all the available categories, but limited to only what is in my library, that option should be available to me. I shouldn't have to search for the same thing 10 different times.
