All Search not recovering text from library

I tried to find John Owen's famous quotation, "be killing sin or it will be killing you" by entering that phrase, in quotes, in the "All" panel of the search window, but it returns no results despite my having John Owen's works. If I open The Mortification of Sin directly from Vol 6 of his works and search in that panel it finds the text.

Isn't the "All" search supposed to search all my books? Am I missing something here?

Were you running the All search in Smart or Precise mode? I would expect the latter to find it … the former, maybe, maybe not.

mobile app upgrade
Hello everyone, I just installed the mobile app upgrade. 2 questions please. (1) Is there a way to disable the "insights" pop-up? (2) I notice that the "notes" font size is smaller than it was with the prior app. Can the "notes" font and font size be changed with the new mobile app? Thank you for any help. Frank
Scripture lookup.
Up until today, when I had a bible open and wanted to go to another book of the Bible, I simply typed it in the box at the top of the page. Now, it seems to be searching for the reference rather than taking me to the bible reference. What’s happened?
