Is it possible to search the propositional outlines? For example, is it possible to identify all the "List-item" propositions in a defined passage?

Not that I am aware of. There are many new things we can search in Logos 6 but this isn't one of them, as far as I know.
That is an interesting idea - maybe in a future release?

Maybe. Years ago I asked if Logos would let us search Mackie Genre Coding, but, alas, that has never been done. Perhaps this coding would be easier to search????
I think it should be a natural feature of Logos. When I started looking into how to do it, I thought surely this is possible. The way I envision it working is to create a Passage List and have it highlight the chosen propositional label in those selected passages, and perhaps export them. Anyway, a neat function, I think, if it were available.
If you have the Propositional Outlines open you can use CTRL F or CMND F to search for the next instance. The main search engine only searches the Bible text, or the data underlying it on the word number (like morph and lemma). This is why the propositional labels behave differently than the main text, I believe. It was not engineered to be searched, but to be displayed. The same holds true for the symbols and propositional descriptions in the discourse resources. They are only display not "really there" as far a searching is concerned. Hope that helps.

We still have several kinds of data that would be useful to search, but we don't have support for that yet (including Propositional Outlines). I expect more search types will be coming.

I'm glad to hear something might occur with this.
I particularly wanted to search Mackie because there is zero documentation about it. I thought if I could search it, I might be able to understand what his terminology was. (I guess I've just written it off at this point.)
Prophetic words, I assume, I'll look forward to those features!
