Restore Precise Search

Please fix the issue with Precise Search that has come up since Logos started pushing subscription-based 'Smart Search'. Since this push was rolled out, a simple text search is not working properly. ('Fuzzy' results are disordered and incomplete, so that is not an appropriate alternative.) I've attached an example where a search for the word 'Zion' in the KJV Bible, returns no results, which proves that the tool is not working properly.

We don't want subscription services; we simply want the program we purchased to work properly. Thank you.

Precise search appears to be working correctly. In your screenshot, you have Match case enabled. Therefore, you would have to search "Zion", with a capital Z.

Please clarify what the issue is. As far as I am aware, Precise Search has continued to work in the way it always has done.

I've attached an example where a search for the word 'Zion' in the KJV Bible, returns no results, which proves that the tool is not working properly.

I think the reason you are not seeing any results is that you have Match case enabled and there are no occurrences of the word Zion that start with a lowercase z

Ability to pin and unpin oft used resources, collections and ranges in the search panel parameters
I would assume that many users have projects in which they repeatedly use several specific search ranges and favorite collections. Saved ranges are not quite "it" because one can wish to save as many ranges for later reuse as they wish. Yet during a certain period of time, one may be concentrating on a Bible book or a…
Linking notes to specific words
I have really begun to try to master the notes feature in Logos, and really like some of the things I have been able to accomplish - Thank You. It would be really helpful if I could anchor my notes to specific words, as opposed to just the reference. For example, I've been doing some work on the king Josiah, and have…

I really appreciate Logos and will continue to use it in the coming years as well as purchase new material as it becomes available.
