Hundreds more sermons added to the Passage Guide (redux)
I noticed today that Logos has continued to add hundreds more sermons to the Sermons section of the Passage Guide since I last checked. In particular, many sermons included in "Works of…" are now present.
Only the sermons I own are included. There may be others. (And the count of Puritan Sermons is wrong, but all the other counts seem correct.)

I get NO sermons, ever, and I have a large library with many resources that includes Spurgeon. Why do I have no sermons pop up. Is Spurgeon not part of the sermons library? My ancient Ages (Sages) library gives me many sermon resources. Why not Logos?

The point is not sermon resources per se, but sermon resources tagged by Logos so that the Sermon Guide can pick them up more precisely than a search over a sermon collection could. Spurgeon's sermons, by the way, are found in Mark's list as "Metropolitan Tabernacle"
Have joy in the Lord!

So why are none of these sermons showing up? For example, if I enter Genesis 49:23, 24 (or enter Joseph), no sermon comes up, even though I know Spurgeon used this text in his sermon, Apr 1, 1855. And I never get any sermons no matter what text I enter. What am I missing?

Where are you entering "Joseph"? This might result in a range of passages

Are you using the standard Passage Guide or a custom one? If a custom one do you have the "Sermons" section included?
I don't have the Spurgeon's set so can't test that specific.

I am entering the search into the search window on the top left of the "advertisement page" (whatever that is called).

I should add that in the results there is a Sermons category, but no sermons ever show up to populate it.

So, for avoidance of any confusion, do you end up with something like the screenshot below?
I don't get any results in the Sermons section but I don't have many sermon resources.
If you have something different please post a screenshot to show.
Can someone with the Spurgeon's sermon collection try and replicate this?

Of you type that into the home page (with the comma), Logos will do a search, rather than a Passage Guide. But if you type it with a hyphen, Logos should show the correct Spurgeon sermon.
If that's not happening for you, it's possible that you're using the old (AGES) version of the Metropolitan Tabernacle pulpit, rather than the newer Logos one. If your resource is called Spurgeon's Sermons: Volume 7, then it's the old version and won't show up. If it's called The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit Sermons, Vol VII, then it's the newer Logos one.
Which do you have?

Thanks. Interesting, I get the sermon when I enter any of the following Genesis 49:23-24: Genesis 49:23; Genesis 49:24; Gen 49:23; Gen 49:24; G 49.23; etc. But not Genesis 49:23,24
Very helpful to discover some of the quirks of Logos. I noted that the program changes the abbreviations into the correct forms almost immediately.
Many thanks again.
