Verse reference search (i.e. ) gives error

Jacob Hantla

I can't figure out how to search books (Or collections) for verse references. In Logos I know this is done with the <> brackets. But on the library.logos.com site it just gives an error.

It works fine for me. What is the query you're using?

I was searching from the window at the top of an open book. It works from the search screen (I guess I hadn't tried that yet), but not from the search box at the top of the book I'm reading. I'd expect that book to search within the title I'm reading. Now that I test it, what does that box search for?

It's a reference box. It does the same thing as the reference box you see when reading a book in Logos 4... minus the error messages when it can't parse something

Oops, guess I should have answered your question

Just type the reference without the angle brackets. Angle brackets tell the search engine to treat the text as a Bible reference, but we're not going through the search engine here-- we're just assuming you want to see that reference in this resource.
