Logos Search Question coming form Accordance

Chris Giammona

One of the things that I appreciated about Accordance was the ways in which you can search, doe sLogos have the same capabilities?  e.g.

Powerful Search Functions:

• Simple word and phrase searches. Just type what you're looking for and click OK.
• Boolean searches. Combine search expressions using AND, OR, and NOT.
• Proximity and sequence-specific searches, such as David <WITHIN 5 Words> <FOLLOWED BY> Jonathan.
• Search within clause, sentence, paragraph, verse, chapter, or book fields to limit searches (with AND or other commands) to those boundaries.
• Search within user-definable ranges, such as "Torah," "Prophets," or "Gospels."
• Global and character-specific wild-card searches for related groups of words. For example, sp?(ao)ke finds "spoke" or "spake" but not "spike."

I recommend Mark Barnes new video on searching: http://www.vimeo.com/16529361. After that you can check out the WIki (link on top of the page.)

You can learn how to do 1, 2, 4,5 using Mark Barnes' video on this thread:

Proximity Operators (3)  in the following link:

As for wildcards (5) only global "*" and "?"

Hi Chris

As well as looking at the videos suggest you look at the Wiki articles on searching - http://wiki.logos.com/Basic_Search and http://wiki.logos.com/Detailed_Search_Help

Some specifics:

You can do this in the Bible Search - for phrases enclose the words in ""
