Search on the iphone app baffles me
Concorance search for Bible texts works well on my iPhone app.
But I frequently want to search the Works of John Wesley, being a renegade Methodist preacher. This used to work well on my iPhone, but it has not for a while now.
I go to "Search", and I enter a word or phrase that I want to search in Wesley's Works. Where the Search page says, "Entire Library", I change it to "John Wesley's Works", which is one of my collections. I hit search, and the app searches my Bibles, not "John Wesley's Works".
So, what do I not understand? Can we not do a basic search on the iPhone now? What happened?
Over the last 25 years, I have grown old and apparently confused, using Logos Bible Software - and a beard as well.
Thanks

Well, I tried the Logos app's search for the first time on ios, and ia basic search worked as advertised. Tried a book, and a collection. I don't have a beard, though (smiling).

Basic search used to work for me on my iPhone, but it definitely does not work now. Perhaps, I should uninstall the Logos Bible App, and install it again. I will try that.

No, deleting and reinstalling the App did not fix it.
Still doesn't work And the problem is not just with Wesley's Works. I tried with my Luther Collection and my Spurgeon Collection. Same problem. It only searches Bibles, no matter what I ask it to search.
I guess the next step is technical support to find out what I am doing wrong.
I did not used to have this problem. Maybe it is the beard?

Hey Michael, I confess I haven't used it in a while, but I do remember it used to have little slide button so we could choose "basic" or "Bible." No longer see that. I noticed when I tried to search a name like Augustine in a specific resource, it pulls up relevant sections from that resource. However, when I switched to my "Church History" collection, it forces a "Bible" type of "range." ("New Testament" or whatever) and I only have that range. Perhaps a power user will know what we are doing wrong, but at this point it is a mystery. I'm going to play around with it for a while and see what I can find on the website or wiki...have you looked into it yet?

I don't have those collections, but I am wondering if those collections have been set up with an underlying bible reference type or something. when I went back to search Wesley and chose collections like "Systematic Theology" or "Worship" then relevant works populated. However, when I tried "Church History" or "Illustrations" it went in to Bible mode. I'm guessing there is an underlying issue, I just don't know what that is off the top of my head.

I haven't gone through this thread all the way, but there may be some clues for you, Michael. I am sorry, I'm on-call right now and can't go through it all for you. It has got to be something with how your collections are set up, I am thinking. (mine as well)

3. Tap Help.
4. Press "Report a Problem"
5. A pre-addressed email will open with a log file attached automatically. Press "Send" to send your report.We can then look into this further.

I noticed the same issue. I have a collection created for Church Fathers and typing "Augustine" gave me a Bible Search. Not all that helpful to me. I am on the Beta version.

Was there a resolution to this? Really quite annoying
