Concordance has Works Cited, other than that I don't, shamefully, know of any other tact one can employ.How do I search only the bibliographies of all of my books? Is there a search field that can limit my search to the bibliographic text within books?
I know I can search footnote text but I just want to search the full bibliographies within books.

I don't know of a way. That would indeed be very useful.
It would have had to be thought of way in advance, and all the books in Logos's catalogue tagged with their bibliographies marked a certain way for this feature to be implemented. As it is now, if they were to implement it, it would be one of those things where they'd have to revisit all their back catalogue to add the tagging, and it would only get done as a long-term project, small chunks at a time, and ultimately would remain unfinished and very unsatisfying.
On a side note, I wish there were a way for us to "look inside" a resource to see what tagging is in there. So, for example, we could look at some books with Bibliographies and see if FL had tagged that section in any way that would be useful to us in searching.
I created a Feedbear suggestion for this if anyone would like this feature enough to vote on it:
Would a search like "author AND largetext:bibliography" work?
Try Books Search: heading:Bibliography OR largetext:Bibliography

Would a search like "author AND largetext:bibliography" work? I just did a test on "Ackerman AND largetext:Bibliography" and got the following.
Helpful. The one annoying part is that you have to start at the beginning of the bibliography and jump to your search result instead of the search taking you directly to the author's name. You'll always have to start at 'Bibliography'. Doable but not ideal. You searched an 'A' name so your result was at the top. I keep having to switch the up/down navigation to 'search result' and then jump down to the search result. Being able to search a bibliography search field would take me directly to the result which saves time in the long run if I'm doing several searches like this and going through many resources to find the results.

Concur a Bibliography field would be quicker for searching.
Books Search suggestion for Zacharias => (heading:Bibliography OR largetext:Bibliography) BEFORE Zacharias
Click Book to open Bibliography, followed by clicking next search result for desired author.
