TIP: Don't forget Google Searches the forum DOCX files too.

Probably already discussed but it bears mentioning again.

Hopefully everyone already knows about the Logos site google searches (adding the search word/phrase):

site:logos.com (searches logos.com, the blog, forum, etc)

site:community.logos.com (searches only the forum)

And then adding arguments specific arguments (plus whatever search word/phrase is desire)

site:logos.com "Look inside" (searches the samples in Logos.com .... especially if the TOCs are available)

site:community.logos.com docx (looks inside the downloadable files you can put in a Logos5 Personal Book)

No doubt there's many other ones specific to your interests. There's not much Google doesn't search! I hadn't thought much about the DOCX files until I was looking for Sanscrit/Greek. Logos.com doesn't appear to be a major sanscrit retailer.

Okay, why were you looking up Sanskrit/Greek? HIstorical linguistics? Rg veda? Now Sogdian I'd understand.[:P]

the Logos site google searches

Yeah, for some reason, I have never found the Forum's built-in search to be very useful. Maybe I don't know how to use it, or maybe it's just crummy.

Well, I'd say Logos beats Apple on app search results. Of course just about anybody beats Apple on app search results. Even Googling Apple is just short of a waste. I'd bet Apple looses zillions on apps no one knows about; Logos maybe thousands.

MJ, it was a rabbit trail that turned bad on me. It started out on the well-recommended Logos book on spirit, soul and flesh. The greek development looked pretty interesting, so I tried to find a book that looked at Mediteranean languages relative to 'the east' (long advocated by early judaism). That led to an inexpensive Kindle book on sanskrit, greek and latin etymologies. So I thought to query Logos on sanskrit, since the Kindle book was badly organized (an area Logos really can't be beat). That's where the rabbit trail petered out. 'Sanskrit'???
