Bible search - temporary range

Very basic question: say I want to search Luke 24 for "fish" in Logos 4.

I click Search, make sure it's a Bible search, and I get:
Search [range name] in [resource name] for
[search text]

If I drop-down the range, I can type Lk 24, but then I'm expected to provide a name for this range.

Do I have to save a range every time I want to find something in a specific block of Scripture?

TIA

Nope, Just click save and your range will be "named" luke 24

no. Only name it if you want it available as a named range in subsequent searches.

Ah: I have to click the Save button, even though I left the Range Title blank.

Thanks.

Re temporary search ranges

L3 allowed creation of temporary search ranges "on the fly" with no requirement to save the range.

L4, as far as I can see, requires that the search range be saved, whether named or not, before a search can be done. e.g. if I want to search Luke 1-4 for 'Caesar' I have to save the untitled range as Luke 1-4 before I can proceed with the search. Luke 1-4 is now saved as one of the search ranges & the list soo becomes cluttered with a heap of one-off searches which then have to be manually deleted.

L3 was much better in that there was no requirement to save temporary ranges.

If I am right, this is just another little thing that needs fixing.

Any thoughts?

You are correct. I had thought that unsaved ranges only showed until Logos was restarted. I was wrong. You should report this as a bug

Alternatively you can just hit 'Enter'; it is equivalent to clicking save and is likely faster because you already have your hands on the keyboard.
