Visual Filter--for specific "Biblical People"

I want to create visual filters that will apply KingNorthBad, KingSouthGood, KingSouthBad highlighting sytles to specific individuals. I tried the brute force way (Jeroboam OR Ahab), but this isn't optimal since it confuses kings from different nations who had the same name, or different individuals who had the same name as a king, or people who have parts of king's names inside theirs.

I'm hoping there is a way I can do something like "logos4:People;id=Nadab.2 OR logos4:People;id=Jehoiachin" in a Bible Viz Filter. However, I haven't stumbled on how to do it.

Has anyone else cracked this nut?

If not, Logos I'd offer it as a suggested search field type!

Suspect technique => Visual Filter for Herod could be used for visual filter highlighting of Kings.

Keep Smiling [:)]

KS4J, tks

I've taken a look at your innovative suggestion, and agree it could work--but it will take a lot of search references to get it set up for all those kings! It would also be very hard to apply across Bible versions since the names aren't completely standardized--sometimes even in the same Bible.

I may follow your suggestion, but do long for a direct way to access the "Biblical People" coding that Logos already built into these resources...just can't figure out how to script that.

Biblical People already does the search for you. You could just copy the references and paste into the Visual Filter range

It would also be very hard to apply across Bible versions since the names aren't completely standardized--sometimes even in the same Bible.

As for the variation in spelling, perhaps using the lemma for the name will work
