New Site: "unlocked=no" broken
As reported by Tom, the syntax for hiding already owned resources in the new store is currently broken. In the past, the user could add "&unlocked=no" to the URL to produce a page filtered for only new resources.

+1 [Y] concur that &unlocked=no works on Logos.com and old Vyrso.com site. Being able to filter out Ebooks already owned would be appreciated. Display of Ebook shows license ownership.
Awesome would be a filter similar to Ebook status since would like to search for Live Ebooks that are new to me (would be ok with URL syntax change).
Edit: my favorite Vryso search was Live non-fictional eBooks that are new to me.
Keep Smiling [:)]

You're welcome. Hopefully this gets updated soon.
Today's freebie is a novella which probably won't interest most but here you are https://ebooks.faithlife.com/products/148477/an-awakened-heart-orphan-train-an-orphan-train-novella

I have the same problem in trying to select my Faithlife Connect free monthly "Faithlife Classic ebook". It shows 3,187 titles with no way to filter out what I already own (which includes over 15,000 resources).

Hi Pam,
Thanks for the feedback on this! We want to make sure that it is easy for you to find resources when using your Connect download for Faithlife Ebooks, and I know that our Faithlife Ebooks readers that aren't a part of Connect would like this filter tool as well. I'll make sure this feedback gets passed along to the right people.
Thanks,
Natalie

Another freebie today of interest to some... https://ebooks.faithlife.com/products/148968/the-mayflower-bride-daughters-of-the-mayflower
So Faithlife - it's been over a month now and no sign that you're working on fixing the ebooks website. It's as broken as noet ebooks has been since its inception. I don't understand why you would copy noet instead of having noet copy Vyrso which was so much nicer.

I agree. I used to look at vyrso everyday for deals and books but I've given up. I can search for the title of a book in quotes with an author's name and it won't show up as the first result. Sometimes I have to scroll several pages to find the said book. I don't see how a search can be this broken

Free books is easy. There are less than a hundred of them, i.e. they fit on two pages if 60 are shown, ordered by price. I hold my mouse to the right-hand scrollbar and just let it fly by, taking in that all buttons are grey. I have to move up on page 2, doing that again. That's how I found another fiction freeby today: https://ebooks.faithlife.com/products/148471/a-search-for-refuge
Those who don't want to clutter their libraries with fiction, it is easy to scroll down this list until the buttons are no longer grey to find free books - I use this sorted by savings to see interesting deals, such as https://ebooks.faithlife.com/products/39698/knowing-god-by-name-names-of-god-that-bring-hope-and-healing
Have joy in the Lord!

Hi Mattillo and Tom,
I'm really sorry that the site search hasn't been fixed yet. This is in progress with our web development team, and it is certainly not forgotten! In looking into the search, we discovered there were more layers to correcting it than we thought. But we are working on it, and I will keep you posted as improvements happen and as I know more. Thanks for keeping us on top of this! We really appreciate you using Faithlife Ebooks and finding your own ways to sort and search, even as we work to fix the search limitations.
Thanks,
Natalie

I got an improvement in my searches by using (). ie. (James Thornwell)
It works like " " used to work.
Really missing the &unlocked=no function.
It seems that there should be a simple workaround since it already displays the owned or not owned status.

Not sure how many years we'll have to wait to get the website fixed but in the meantime there's a free book today that's not a romance, although it is titled I Will Love You Forever. ;-)

Thanks to FL for including Carta and a Hebrew audio bible in Logos 9!

Why can't they just make a "check" box on the website... including the logos site. Gessh.... kinda lazy...been years...
Also, on the main website, you cant even get the "sort by" by best selling accurately... it has been the same for years. And I think they intentionally put Mike Heiser's book on #1 spot. Kinda a dirty play I'd say, having Heiser as their own employee & still on their payroll.

Also, why can't it remember my preferred "Sort by" setting? I am sick of having to set it to "Newest" every single time. I don't care about so-called "Bestselling" books. I just want to see what's new.
