The new search-this-resource with a right click is very handy. However, at this point, it is only available from the Library. It sure would be nice if this could be made available from within Collections.
I'm wondering how this would be implemented EITHER in the library or in a collection since it requires a search term be selected before the target can be searched.
George ... I'm not quite understanding. In theory, (I think) Logos could conceivably use the functionality for any resource name displayed anywhere (e.g. an apparatus or lexicon reference to another resource) as long as it was owned?
I'm probably misunderstanding.

If you are searching a resource, collection, library, you need a search term for the search. If you choose a collection, how do you supply the search term?
Remember: the search term for a resource is generally supplied by selecting an instance of the term in the resource itself.
The context menu command opens a new search panel with the resource range set to the selected resource(s); you still have to type in the term and press Enter before a search is executed.

Hmm. OK, I can see how that would work. Obviously I've never used it. I rarely even use the right-click STR on an open resource but use the standard searches.

No, it doesn't, George. You simply need the name of the resource. Right-click the name, and the pop-up has an option to 'search this resource'. When you choose that, you then specify a term for which to search. The search window automatically opens with the correct (Basic/Bible) search type selected and your resource correctly chosen.
Since it works with the name of the resource, I'd love to have it work in a Collection, as I'm much more often opening a collection rather than the Library when I want to access specific resources.
For example, let's say I want to quote R. C. Sproul in the way he retold the story of Uzzah in his book 'The Holiness of God', but I can't remember the exact words. I would then open my RC collection and can quickly find the book, and then right-click and search for the quote using one of the terms I know from it.
You might ask, 'Why can't you just open the Library and do the same thing?' Well, I can. But opening the library, searching for 'Sproul', and sorting through those books isn't as intuitive as opening his collection I've created. So I suppose this is a preference and not a necessity. But it would make the process simpler, I think.

Great! Indeed! However .... can anyone tell me why when I do it with the same resource ... that I get 35 results in 30 articles .......... ????
It should be the same ...
When Morris does this he gets 37 hits in 31 articles .... Great! Indeed! However .... can anyone tell me why when I do it with the same resource ... that I get 35 results in 30 articles .......... ????

Maybe a page fell out of your book...

Probably behind the desk. [;)]
Doc B you can filter your library to show the Sproul Collection only, then select all the resources , right click and choose Search these Resources. Not as elegant as your suggestion, but a workaround. Would though like to see your suggestion implemented.

Now that I've searched behind the desk -- and behind the monitor -- does anyone else have any ideas about the missing results - ???
From comparing the displayed results you have "match case" set in the search panel and Morris doesn't
Neither of you have "match all word forms" set either!
Graham! My sincere apologies! I should have picked that up! I appreciate the trouble you took to get this right in my mind. I noticed that he did NOT have "match all word forms" set, so I didn't either ......
but the other matter .......... actually I should have noticed! Thanks very much! Peace!
and ... Always Joy in the Lord! *smile*
