Bug: "Search in this resource" option in the right-click menu not displaying

The "Search in this resource" option is not showing up when LEMMA is selected under the right-click menu. See the screenshot below.

I am experiencing this on 2 installs of Logos 5 (a Windows 7 laptop and on the Microsoft Surface Pro Tablet running Windows 8.1). The option spontaneously showed back up a couple weeks ago, but disappeared again a few days later.

Hi Brad

Is Logos indexing at all?

No, Logos is not currently indexing. I checked just a moment ago, and the "Search this resource" option is displaying now on my Windows 8.1 Microsoft Surface Pro which is running the beta version of Logos 5. But it is not displaying on my Windows 7 laptop running the stable version of Logos 5. As I mentioned before it has appeared spontaneously a time or 2, but then disappears again. That may be happening AFTER the indexer has finished indexing new updates (I'm not sure), but whether the indexer is currently running or not makes no difference on whether the option appears.

I could see this happen if the application needs re-index your bibles, or if there is something with the lemma files. The option that requires the least amount of work is to rebuild your index. You can do this by typing "rebuild bible index" into your command bar. You should see the phrase repeated under the word "Tools" in bold and below where you've typed. This shouldn't take long but if your computer is sensitive to being slow during an index you may want to do it when you won't need it or Logos for an hour or so.

Tommy, I tried a complete re-indexing yesterday afternoon using the "rebuild index" command. That did not fix the problem. The "Search this resource", "Search all open resources", and "Search entire library" options still weren't showing up for Lemma (or any of the others i.e. Selection, Manuscript, Root) in the right click menu.

This afternoon, I tried completely uninstalling Logos and then installed a fresh copy using the "scan" command to import the resource files. It is still indexing (currently at about 11%). The menu options are showing up now. So, this does seem to have fixed the problem. Although I'll have to wait until it is done indexing to make sure that it is properly returning search results.

Hopefully, this will not be a recurring problem. With nearly 11 thousand resources, re-installing and re-indexing is a rather lengthy process especially on my Windows 7 laptop without an SSD. What I can't figure out is why the menu options seem to reappear and disappear on their own and on 2 separate computers. In all the years I've had Logos, I've never experienced this problem until the last few weeks or so.

Thanks for your help...
