Brand new Logos user, very excited. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to do the first thing I need. How would I do a search for all perfect infinitives in the Greek NT and Septuagint?
Welcome!
To run the search you want you click on the search icon/select morph select the text you want to search and type @VR?N. Actually when you type the @ a drop down will allow you to select the morphology.
To search both the GNT and LXX you need to create a collection that has those two texts. The collections are found under tools. Here is a screenshot of the search and the collection.
Welcome
Awesome! This is why we use LOGOS right? Can't quite get it to work. Here's a screenshot. Why is it searching 23 resources when my collection only has 2 resources in it?
Well, that's not going to help. The rich text editor is not too user friendly. How do you insert a screenshot and make it bigger? I attempted to make it bigger by going into the edit function in the text editor, but there's no way to constrain proportions so I don't have a chance.
Create a screenshot and save it; click on the paperclip to insert it.
I got curious (not having tried morph searches in the past) and found that it works fine, but my results seem to differ from yours - that may be due to the different resources we use: my LXX has no Logos morphology and my NA27 neither, thus Logos morph yields zero, but GRAMCORD and Swanson get the same number of hits:
Is the big difference to your results really attributable to aparatuses and variant readings? When I save the results as a passage list, it says it contains only 114 entries, see attached 8255.VRN_in_greek_bible_text_morphed.rtf
Still curious,

Just save your screenshot as .jpg or .gif file and attach the file as described.
but GRAMCORD and Swanson get the same number of hits:
Different Morphologies don't use the same morphological tags.
In Logos morphology @VR?N = Verb, Perfect, Infinitive so you have to type and then select:
Verb + (under Tense)Perfect + (under Mood) Infinitive
and run separate searches for your NA27 (whether Swanson morph or Logos morph) and Septuaginta (GRAMCORD morph).

Aaaaah, I didn't know that. Thanks a lot!
In the meantime I found that I do have Logos-morph-tagged ressources both for OT and NT, which brings me near:

And now we can see your screenshot, we can answer your main question. I'm afraid the answer is "I don't know"! Everything looks OK. I have just two suggestions:

Everything looks OK. I have just two suggestions: Are you sure you didn't start the search, then change the dropdown to your collection AFTER the search had populated? It might be worth just trying again. Is there a bug in the Mac version? (I'm on Windows, so will leave it to someone else to comment)
As I wrote earlier, it looks like your first bullet scenario (YYNJ's first hits come from http://www.logos.com/product/3937/the-apostolic-fathers-greek-texts-and-english-translations, not from the two bible texts shown in the collection at the time of screenshot ), the second one would really be a weird bug. At least on Windows, when changing the collection, it seems simply re-loading the search doesn't do, one needs to direct it elsewhere and then come back (a retart of Logos might do the same).
