Showing search results for all bibles - not just those with the searched word in them

Rev Julian Hartley

When doing a Bible search, I'd like to see a results grid showing all Bibles, not just those that have the searched word in them. Can this be done in Logos 4? (I can't find a way of doing it - but I might well be missing something!).

For example..... "Charity"

If I do a search for "Charity" in all Bibles, I get a grid showing results from 16 that have the word in them somewhere. But I have 29 unlocked Bibles. I'd like to see how the other 13 translate the verses that come up in the results list.

The RSV has one result for "charity" in Acts (apart from some in Tobit & Sirach). That puts it in the results grid. So I can see how it translates 1 Corinthians 13, for example. But I can't do the comparison for the NIV because it doesn't have any instances of "charity", so it's not in the results grid.

Hi Julian

I can't find any way of doing what you want - as you have noticed the search function only returns results for Bibles which have at least one hit.

What you could do is to take the search results and create a Passage List - details at http://wiki.logos.com/Passage_List

This will create a PL with all of the references in.

You could then add all of your Bible versions (or a subset which you are interested in) to the set of versions which are shown in the PL.

(To do this you would need a collection of all of your Bibles or a subset - details at http://wiki.logos.com/Collections

This would then enable you to look at each verse in each translation.

So a few steps but it might be helpful
