ἀγαπητός in Paul's letters

Can someone explain to me why Logos is not finding the usage of the word ἀγαπητός in Philippians in the Bible search. If you put in that word and do a Bible search and ask for just the Pauline epistle's, it only finds three places where that is found; once in Ephesians and two in Colossians. In fact, if you do and whole NT search, it does nor find all the occurrences of the word ἀγαπητός in the book of Phillipans ( I do not know how many other references are not showing up). Am I doing something wrong?

Just a note, it will find the manuscript form, but not the lemma.

I think what you are doing is attempting to find ἀγάπητος using a bible search rather than a morphological search. A bible search will find the precise form you enter (ἀγάπητος) and not another form of the word which appears (such as ἀγάπητοι in Philippians). You can either do a morphological search using the lemma ἀγάπητος or do a bible search substituting a wild card for the ending of the word (ἀγάπητ*).

How are you doing your search? Can you explain your search criteria or upload a screen shot? Also which version are you searching.

If I right click on "love" (Phil. 4:1 NIV), and choose lemma from the left side and search this resource from the right, I do get all the occurrences (I can then narrow the search down to Pauline epistles, if I want). I get the same result doing this from the NA28.

What resource are you searching in? I'm showing 3 instances in 2 verses in Philippians for both the word and associated lemma for both NA27 and the Byzantine?

George ... I'm probably misunderstanding your point? 'Bible search' vs morph? (The Bible search picks up both literal usage and assocated lemma).
