A couple easy search questions (I hope)

I had a couple search questions:

What is the difference between "All" and "Books" as search options? I can't figure it out.

Also, I own a number of journals. Is it possible to limit a specific search to the author of a journal article? For example, I know that James Charlesworth has written on the Beloved Disciple. Can I search for "beloved disciple" in only journal articles written by Charlesworth?

Thanks.

What is the difference between "All" and "Books" as search options? I can't figure it out.

All is a ranked search of all books in your Library, including Personal, Cloud and Print resources. Other types of search are presented in Cards with rectangular frames, but they usually provide partial results with an option to get more. This is similar to Books > All Books > None with [match all forms], except for the cards.

All has no options, so cannot perform the Search for specific authors, below.

Is it possible to limit a specific search to the author of a journal article?

Usually. In a Books Search enter type:journal author:Charlesworth after clicking "All Books" or whatever is showing:

EDIT: this will only find the editor. Just use type:journal

Couldn't one use journalArticle:(author:Charlesworth) ?

Indeed one can, thank you.

But it is often only the header with title/author that is highlighted together with some text up to the first subject heading. So it is no good to search for words unless the whole 'journal article' is highlighted.

journalArticle:author:Charlesworth finds the same results in my Logos library.

journalArticle:author:Charlesworth INTERSECTS "Beloved Disciple" finds nothing in my Logos library while journalArticle:author:Charlesworth INTERSECTS beloved found one article.

I use it so rarely I was unaware of that. Sermons are what I use more frequently where usually the entire sermon is highlighted.
