I try to search the word Jannes, that person involved as kind of wizards stod against moses, its mention a couple of time in NT to. The thing is I know I have some books that are not showing up in the search. I want to search absolutely every resource I have in my hole logo base that have mention that name. But why does not harper bible dictionary, a harper commentary comes up in the search, or Ante-Nicenes Fathers 8 comes up, they mention Jannes? I know does resources have the word Jannes in them, and some information's to me. And I know I also have some other resources that should pop up in the search pointing me to some information on this subject.

This makes my very unsure about the search, and that that I miss out on some extra information when I search some books does not show up in search, and that will also happens in other cases.

Please help me, how to I search absolutely everything in logos 9 bible software that possible have that name in it. Please make it easy step by step how to do this, I'm new. I have about 4000 resources in my library so there should be some stuff there about this sunbject. I have done this search on my windows 10 computer that have downloaded every thing on it, and its in logos 9.

    That's easy, but may give more results than you can look through:

    Run a Basic search, searchin All Text in All Resources:

    Ok, thanks, found that out. Now I wanted to say a bad word because of that search list, that was a real looong list of search. But I asked for this, and it was helpful.

    Is there any tips how to shorted it down some, to be more easier to get out what I'm actually want out of it. Most are familiar with jannes and jambres. Thing is, I want to have some of the more acknowledge story, but also what goes little further from what is known about the case, maybe some other ways the history goes than just does two guys opposes moses. Is there a way to fine tune this little more? I would really appreciate this, and it would help me more on other subjects later on. I'm very new to this software.

    Thanks a lot mate :)

    Try clicking where it says All Resources in the search and open the Search Fields sub-menu

    Scroll down to, and select, Heading Text. This will restrict your results to those which have a heading of Jannes which might be more useful.

    Now that "absolutely every resource" is too much, start your investigation in Factbook because that will give you Dictionaries that talk about Jannes rather than mentioning the name.

    In addition to checking out the Factbook entry for Jannes, make sure to also look at "Jannes and Jambres", which may have some additional articles.
