Can I search within an entry in a lexicon?
I'm in BDAG at the entry for "parousia." I'd like to search within that entry to see if there's a reference to 1Thess. 4. Is there a way to do that?

What about headword:παρουσία INTERSECTS bible:"1 Thessalonians 4"?
You can get the headword by right-clicking anywhere in the article, then clicking "inline" next to search and adding "INTERSECTS whatever you want" into the search box that appears.
It is a little more intuitive if you start from the text. Right-click "coming" in 1 Thessalonians 4:15, and do a Bible Word study on παρουσία. Then open BDAG from your Bible Word Study pane, and it will automatically highlight references to the text you started from.

Thanks for the reply Justin! I've been using Bible software for about 30 years, but Logos for only about a week :-)
The Word Study option is awesome, but when I select BDAG from the Word Study pane, 1Thess. 4 isn't highlighted. Any idea why?0 -
Sorry, Mark, I did not realize this was not on by default. Go to Visual Filters and turn on "Emphasize Active References." For BDAG, turning on "Outline Formatting" also improved readability a lot. With that on, I am thinking now that you don't need to go through Bible Word Study, you can just have your Bible open to the relevant passage. I guess I just assumed that it worked like that because it is how I usually access it.
Welcome to Logos! It is a bit of a learning curve, but once you start to think in the Logos way, it is amazingly powerful.

Mark,
Welcome,
In addition to Justin's great answer you should check emphasize active lemmas as well in the visual filters section. Then, you can link the lexicon with your preferred bible and when you click on a word, BDAG will populate to that lemma. You will then have the lexicon open and the references highlighted.
Here is a screenshot of my layout that links Bible Word Study, ESV and my preferred lexicon that has multi view so I get several lexicons in one pane.

Try this...
bible:"1 thessalonians 4" IN headword:παρουσία
I picked up the formatting of the search string from training I received from M.P. Seminars recently.

That is equivalent to the earlier suggestion... bible:"1 Thessalonians 4" INTERSECTS headword:παρουσία (reversed), except that IN means "fully included" versus "overlapping". So headword:παρουσία IN bible:"1 thessalonians 4" doesn't make sense!
