Library Search - Arggg!

I used to use the Library Search to quickly pull up the books with a certain word in the Title. Now it is bringing back every book with that word anywhere in the title or body. Please add a drop-down so we can specify what the Library Search should check for!

Nathan,

welcome to the Logos user forums!

That's easy and doesn't require an additional dropdows or so: just use title: in front of the word you are searching for.

I happen to like library search as is, since Biblia.com seems to work like Logos 4 library search, so you may as well use e.g. author: or other fieldcodes and it will find ESV or FSB even though their title is not abbreviated.

Thank you for the info. I would just add that it would be helpful to have some tooltip or other help text near the search box to reminder/inform users of this capability. Also, I discovered that you cannot have a space between the "title:" and the word you are searching for.

Nathan - as NB. pointed out, all the search functionality matches the actual L4 product. That means you can even do multiple boolean searches together. As you found out, however, it has to be entered just right to work.
