searching for two words within a defined range

Jesse

Hello

I would like to know how to search for two words that appear close to each other in either my library or in my top Bibles. For instance, if I wanted to search my library for resources that contained the word "Jesus" and the word "Jubilee" within the same sentence, how can I do that?

If I wanted to search the Bible for the words "idol" and "deaf" and have receive either verses that contain both of them or a range of verses that contain both words, how can I do that?

 

Thanks

Hi Jesse - and welcome to the forums

I would like to know how to search for two words that appear close to each other in either my library or in my top Bibles. For instance, if I wanted to search my library for resources that contained the word "Jesus" and the word "Jubilee" within the same sentence, how can I do that?

If you do a Basic Search on all resources for "Jesus NEAR Jubilee" you will get all hits where the words are "near" each other -  NEAR means within 48 characters! You can be more specific and say "Jesus WITHIN x WORDS Jubilee" if you wish. For more background, please see http://wiki.logos.com/Basic_Search and http://wiki.logos.com/Detailed_Search_Help#Proximity_Operators

If I wanted to search the Bible for the words "idol" and "deaf" and have receive either verses that contain both of them or a range of verses that contain both words, how can I do that?

Simply put both words in the search box separated by a space. There is an example at http://wiki.logos.com/Detailed_Search_Help#Simple_Search_Syntax

Hope this helps - please ask again if you still have questions.
