"Search" is not functional.

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I consistently have to LEAVE LOGOS to go to a browser search for simple phrases like "forgetting what is behind", "Why do you call me good?" to get the bible verse(s) that I am searching for. I would expect Bible word/phrase searches to be a BASIC LEVEL FUNCTION in any Bible Software. I attempted it in the "Smart Search preview" WITHOUT RESULTS as well. Is there something missing in my setup? I have the Logos 10 Starter but I have also bought several bible versions and concordances. I have been using the free LOGOS since 2009.

Welcome @Dino Daniels

I took your first example.

With Smart Search functionality (including your previews) I got good results

Without Smart Search, and if you don’t get any results in the default Passage View, try selecting the Fuzzy view which should give some good results.

(Screenshots from my iPad but the desktop should behave the same way, just look slightly different)

If you are not seeing these types of results, please post screenshots showing what you are seeing

Search box NIDNTTE
A footnote in a commentary says, "The best survey I know of is R. P. Martin’s “Haustafeln,” in NIDNTT, 932.3:928" The NIDNTT is hyperlinked, but clicking it djust opens of a different panel telling me the full name of the book. I own the book and have opened it, but I cannot figure out how to find the entry. ChatGTP says…
Why do I have three copies of a sermon I've only preached once?
This is sermon manager arranged by tags and it gives me three copies of a sermon preached only on one occasion. Arranging by date fixes it so that it's only listed once.
Verse number placement in mobile
On mobile (Galaxy S25+) most of my bibles are vs by vs but it takes up 1rd of the real estate. I can't figure out how to fix this. *Update* My friend says on his iPhone he has the same issue and that's why he's not using certain translations cause he don't have a computer to change settings. Here is the difference.
