In "DeskTop App" I can click on "Documents" and search for "something" and it will display Notes and Passage Lists and Sermons that has that "something" in them. This is very helpful.

But I have not found a way to do this in Logos Mobile App. I know I can search Notes or search Passage Lists or search Sermons individually.... but how do I search all three at the same time?

Is there a way to do that?

    1. Go to the Layouts View by tapping on the two overlapping squares icon in the middle of the bottom toolbar.
    2. Tap the plus sign at the bottom of the screen to create a new tilegroup.
    3. Tap the Documents icon at the top, far-left.
    4. The search field will show at the top.

    Hi Ali

    I think the method you are suggesting finds documents that include the search term in the name - is that correct?

    I think xnman is asking for the ability to search within documents, which I don't think we can do on mobile at the moment

    If I could search "titles of Notes or Documents or Sermons" would be great.

    Ah, yes, that's correct, Graham! I misunderstood.

    Sorry to be so fumble fingers here, and I'm probably missing something .... but when I tap the plus sign...  I don't have a "Documents" icon that I can type on.  Could you show a illustration of it?

    To add to this....  I have Notes and Passage Lists and Sermons that have words I search for on my desktop.  But I can't do that in Mobile App.

    I get what is shown below with the Documents icon on the right

    Can you post a screenshot showing what you see?

    Yes - I think this is a current limitation that we can't search within documents on the mobile app

    But...   I have Sermons that have "Holy Spirit" and Passage Lists that have "Holy Spirit" and Notes that have "Holy Spirit" in the titles.... I would like to search all of them for any Sermon or Note or Passage List that has "Holy" or "Spirit" in the title.... I can do this in my Desktop....

    We can do that on mobile as below - we just can’t search within Documents

    Took me a minute but I finally see the light. Thanks again Graham!
