1. Which Greek text in Logos 5 is most reliable?

I'll defer to a Greek expert on that one[:)]

2. How can I display NASB side-by-side with corresponding Greek text?

You open them side-by-side as below:

If you want them to scroll together you can link them - see http://wiki.logos.com/Linking_Resources for details

3. With #2 above, how can I search for all occurrences of a Greek Word's transliteration?

I would open a search window to a Bible search enter "g:" and then start typing the transliterated text

In the example above, I selected one of the terms, ran the search and added the NASB into the search results window

4. With #2 above, how can I type Greek characters in the search field?

You could set your keyboard to use Greek characters or use one of the original languages keyboards provided by Logos at https://www.logos.com/shibboleth

I hope this answers your questions but if you can explain what you are trying to achieve we may be able to suggest alternative ways of doing it

1. Which Greek text in Logos 5 is most reliable?

It's debatable, but the short of it is you have two arguments to choose from, or I should say be persuaded by: 1) An eclectic text - idea goes back to Westcott and Hort 2) Majority text

As for eclectic text, UBS4 and NA27 are the same Greek text in different formats. https://www.logos.com/product/7839/ubs-4-westcott-hort-with-swanson-morphological-analysis , https://www.logos.com/product/1813/nestle-aland-27th-edition-greek-new-testament

If you want to follow the Majority text, https://www.logos.com/product/1792/the-new-testament-in-the-original-greek-byzantine-textform-2005-with-morphology

Greek Orthodox follow https://www.logos.com/product/32420/patriarchal-greek-new-testament

I hope this helps.

If you want more details the following search shows several resources in Logos that will give you some history behind these texts and explain why they are different. It's too much to layout on a forum. https://www.logos.com/products/search?q=textual+criticism

2. How can I display NASB side-by-side with corresponding Greek text?

My favorite Logos feature is visual filter highlighting that combines hundreds of search results for simultaneous display. The NASB 1995 Update resource in Logos has reverse interlinear tagging so can search for Greek morphology. Thankful can "see" range of Greek verbal expression in Greek and English context.

Wiki has => http://wiki.logos.com/Extended_Tips_for_Highlighting_and_Visual_Filters#Examples_of_visual_filters

By the way, thread => Suggestion: Discourse Greek NT more customizable discussion has a Personal Book with customized pop up questions.

3. With #2 above, how can I search for all occurrences of a Greek Word's transliteration?

One Greek search option is right click on a word, click Lemma, then click Morph Search:
