Hi
I have not seen this ask so here it goes. When we buy a collection such as the Aramaic Bible in 22 volumers. Include that premade collection in the set.

Include that premade collection in the set.
There is no need for a collection as nearly everywhere a collection is used you can use a dynamic collection of series:"The Aramaic Bible"

While you might end up with the same results coincidentally with what you typed in there, technically there should be quotation marks around the name of the series: series:"the aramaic bible". Otherwise what you're asking Logos for is resources with "the" anywhere in the series field AND "aramaic" anywhere in the metadata AND "bible" anywhere in the metadata. I like to teach people to put phrases in quotation marks when used with library filters because there are some times when you'd get different results without them.
For example author:gary thomas will find these resources.
Note that some of them have Thomas not in the author field but in the publisher field (Thomas Nelson). If you want just the books by Gary Thomas, you need type author:"gary thomas" (case is insensitive). This is true in the Library tab as well as in the resources dropdown.
And circling back to The Aramaic Bible, in my Library, series:the aramaic bible brings up 38 resources, only 22 of which are actually from the series called "The Aramaic Bible". Others have both Aramaic and Bible in the Subject metadata and "the" somewhere in the series name, etc.
Please, all MVPs, get in the habit of always using quotation marks when filtering the library by a phrase, and teaching others to do the same.
That's fine for desktop, but I believe that you have to make it a collection to search on mobile. I don't have a desktop any more so I can't make collections, which does hinder searching considerably.

Thanks for this. I was not aware of this feature. Mine behaves differently. Windows 11, verbum 10,1,0.0041
I took MJ's syntax and applied it under collections. THis will work for me.

Someone more familiar than I with the desktop would have to weigh in on this. It may not be possible on the mobile but IIRC the mobile currently has bugs in its treatment of collections making it difficult to test.
