Help!!! I cannot type Greek or Hebrew words in the search box of my logos 5

My logos version is 5.2 SR-4. My computer system is Microsoft Windows 8.1

I have followed the instruction about how to type Greek words in the search line, like "g: xxx", but the Greek alphabets didn't show up automatically. The words I typed are still English. What's wrong? Please help me solve the problem. Thanks a lot.

Hi Jonathan - and welcome to the forums

I have followed the instruction about how to type Greek words in the search line, like "g: xxx", but the Greek alphabets didn't show up automatically. The words I typed are still English

In which box are you typing?

In the screenshot below I show "g:logos" in two places - the top one is in the Command Box, the second one is in a Search Panel.

As you can see, the second one results in a dropdown menu allowing me to select the Greek word I am looking for, the first one doesn't

Does this help at all?

If not, please provide some more details

like "g: xxx",

maybe it's just the space you put between the colon and the transliterated word?

That could be a better explanation than mine - good catch, Mick[:)]

Thank Mr. Graham and Mick for your tips. Now I can find Greek words in the dropdown menu, as the attached image shows:

But I feel a bit disappointed, because I cannot literally type the Greek words but just the transliterated English. I remember that in the old version of Logos 3, the Greek input (typing) function is very good and easy to use. How come the Logos 5 canceled that function? This is really not convenient and comfortable for the user. Considering the serious and academic purpose of this Bible software, I think this function is essential and necessary. I truly hope the future version will restore the Greek typing function. May God bless the Logos team.

For most users, using the transliteration is a big plus instead of typing Greek. But you can easily type greek: switch your keyboard layout to EL to do so:

or use the free Logos tool Shibboleth and copy/paste over
