Searches with multiple terms do not work without internet access

Hi

On a couple of occasions, where I've been without network access, I can only perform searches with single words. If the search includes multiple terms, it returns no results. To restore multi-word searches, internet service must be resumed.

Can anyone else confirm this? Try any multi word search with the internet ON to see what results to expect, then turn off wireless and mobile data facilities, and run the search again.

Just tried it with "Christ deity" as my search query, which returned no results with internet off, but with mobile data turned back on, I get the expected results. (Col 2:9).

This is 100& reproducible.

    That is a serious limitation. It appears that offline searches also are not capable of phrase searches. They only can search single words. In addition to being restricted, offline searches also are very slow. The Logos app sadly is not up to the offline search capabilities some other Bible apps.

    Personally, I think I have some privacy concerns with this.
