Searches for things like

Gregory Lawhorn

Sorry for the convoluted question here.

OK, I've got the basic search for:

<Person Abraham>

I also know that I can search for

<Person Abraham> AND (believe OR trust)

Is is possible to search for

<Person Abraham> AND <Subject (or some other term) Faith>

I don't know how to ask this, I guess, but in the above, what are Person and Subject called in the search? Is there a place where I can find a list of those terms?

I did discovered this by accident:

<Sense to trust (faith)> AND <Person Abraham>

So, I can use Sense as a something (what's it called?)

I'm still left feeling blind when it comes to other searches. Yes, I did stumble across <Sense to trust (faith)>, but I really dislike stumbling around, hoping I'll land on something useful. Where do I find a list of these terms? If a list doesn't exist, I would be happy to collaborate with someone one putting one together for the benefit of the Logos family.

Where do I find a list of these terms?

Here are two useful resources with a list of search terms.

One is the in-app Help, under Searching -> Advanced Searching.

The other is the Search information at the Logos wiki.

what are Person and Subject called in the search?

Datatypes (wiki) or data types (Logos Help).

Thanks for the help. I completely missed the fact that the drop down menu in the Search lane fills in the appropriate code.

I also know that I can search for

<Person Abraham> AND (believe OR trust)

In Bible search, this looks for verses that have <Person Abraham> AND (believer OR trust) while Basic search looks for AND items being in the same Article, Chapter, ...

Personally use INTERSECTS or WITHIN ## WORDS more often for searching.

For searches that combine different constraints, you may find Bible Browser to be helpful. In this case:

Under Preaching Themes, select Faith
Under People, select Abraham (you'll have to hit "more")

So "Preaching Themes" is one answer to "what is 'subject' called?". We've annotated all Bible pericopes with Preaching Themes, so they're a good choice for this kind of topical search. You can see a list of all Preaching Themes in the dataset documentation here.
