Topic Search in Original Language
Hello. I am still making the transition, slowly but surely, from Libronix to Logos 5. One of the things I used often was "Topic" searches, particularly in my original languages resources grouped into a collection. I figured out how to make a collection, but I have not grasped how to search that collection for the articles particular addressing those Greek and Hebrew words, not every occurrence of those words in the resources. Can someone give me a hand?

No. Topics are controlled/curated by Logos and are in English (and perhaps other user interface languages) not in the Greek, Hebrew or Aramaic. The Bible Sense Lexicon depicts original languages word by sense (topic) which is closer to what you want but you cannot search a collection through the senses. The Lowe-Nida semantic domains also provide a path into original language word by meaning (topics). Dave Hooten may have additional advice that brings you closer.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

See http://wiki.logos.com/Collections for powerful new ways to make "dynamic" collections based on Rules.

Not sure how a Topic search (e.g. for Salvation) applies to original languages resources (bibles) whether in Libronix or Logos 4/5. So please clarify this along with "not every occurrence of those words".
Note that you need a Logos 4 base package (incl. Crossgrade) or Logos 5 base package to perform a Topic search in Logos 5.

Roger, I use both Libronix and Logos5. On OL, the closest you're going to come to a match to Libronix Topics is to probably search headers, titles and 'large text' (else thousands of results). Here's βαπτίζω :

Seems Heading Text; Large Text; Title have more search results. Also found some articles for an inflected word:
Searching for translated topic can find more results.
