How do I exclude Apocryphal literature?
I'm getting sick of every Bible search returning apocryphal results. I simply don't want to see Sirach or the Wisdom of Solomon, etc. in my Bible searches. It's getting to the point where I don't like doing a search because I have to sift through so many non-Biblical references. (I realize some people consider them "Biblical" but I don't)
If I can't exclude them can I somehow remove them?

Hi Micah - and welcome to the forums
You shouldn’t be seeing apocryphal results - unless:
- You are looking in the Fuzzy Search results section
- You are using a Bible which includes apocryphal books
Are either of those the case?

It's the fuzzy search - sorry I should have been more specific. I find the fuzzy search very useful but I guess it ignores all constraints like specific Bibles. . I'd really like to remove the apocryphal books from the Bibles that have them.

Yes, I’m afraid it does ignore passage constraints.
This is a long-standing issue which has been acknowledged as a bug as per https://community.logos.com/forums/p/148370/922009.aspx#922009 but it has been this way for a long time.
I do hope it gets resolved.

Well, at least there's an explanation. Every word in the English language seem to have a fuzzy connection to Sirach. lol
Thanks for the information. I too look forward to a fix.

As do I. This is why I don't use the fuzzy search right now. I think I've only use it once or twice. Would like to start experimenting, but also want accurate search results.
Could FL comment on when a fix for this bug might get some traction?

I am tired of it also, and It seems this problem is un-fixable by Logos, or...

This is fixed in Logos 10
Although it looks as though there is still a different bug in that the Fuzzy view won''t scroll - I'll flag that separately

It is reasonable to not expect Apocryphal results when searching Bibles w/o it, but when searching a Bible like NRSV, which includes the Apocrypha, there's no reason to expect they won't be included.

This sounds like trolling. lol

Edit: unless you restrict the search, e.g. to the New Testament, which will now work in Fuzzy search, too.
Have joy in the Lord!
