I want to find a sentence containing both the words: godliness and being
I'd probably search 'godliness NEAR being' (without the quotes).
Okay, maybe with the quotes, like this: "godliness" NEAR "being"
When I ran a search without the quotes, I got other forms of the words (godly, be, etc). There's a probably a way to turn off matching all forms of the word in an inline search, but I have no idea how. When I search with quotes, I got only the actual words.
Oops … I should 'read'!
Hi @Roger Owen
Are you looking specifically for these two words to be in the same sentence?
I ask because the standard "search boundary" in Logos is the verse level.
Specifically those two words in the same sentence in the book, "Spiritual Disciplines For the Christian Life"
@Roger Owen
Is this what you were looking for?
I couldn't do an inline search because the book (revised edition) is in my print library. I have the first edition in Logos, and I did an inline search on that one but with no results.
The command using NEAR suggested by Yasmin may well be the best option - but please note it constrains results to where search terms are within 48 characters of each other.
Alternatively you could try WITHIN n WORDS and try different values of n
Logos doesn't support "within sentence searching" constraints.

I would like to name the AI in Logos (not for the entire community, but just for me). All the AI's on the Internet have names like Claude, Bard, Grok, etc. I would like my Logos AI to also have a name (I understand it's not a person, but neither is my dog and it has a name). I think the name should reflect the idea that it…
Our church recently voted to purchase Logos for Church. We have a modest church library, but the pastor has a more substantial print library. The pastor has entered his library into his copy of Logos via the print library feature. Is it possible to share this print library with the rest of the users in Logos for Church?
Hi. I recently watched a video where Mark Ward demonstrated how he used Raycast as a "controller" for launching various Logos resources or tools. I am a Windows guy so Raycast isn't a possibility for me. I asked my friend Chat, and was pointed to Microsoft Power Toys as a Raycast alternative for interfacing with Logos. I…
Currently the The Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament and New Testament Collection (TDOT/TDNT) is on sale at a 60% discount. I have all the volumes except Volume 8 (The Index) so the price is good. I can't see any value of having the Index in Logos, because searching is easy without it, but I'm asking the question…
Hi. I am working on learning biblical Hebrew and biblical Greek. As part of this, I use a lemma search function as I learn new words in order to read through multiple occurrences and do review in the following days. An example from the Septuagint looks like this: "lemma.g:δαλός OR lemma.g:κάμπη OR lemma.g:ξυστός OR…
