How to Open Multiple Verses at once?
Greetings. How do I open multiple verses in the Logos Desktop app?
For example, is there a way to search for the following verses, Matt.11:25-27; John 5:45–47 at the same time, in Logos? I can do this in Accordance. However, whenever I search for multiple verses in Logos, it won't search for them. It says, "No results. Check your spelling, or try broadening your query." I say, no, that is not right. I know you do many things, so why not do this wonderful thing? And so because of this issue, I had to run to Accordance for help.
Please let me know.Thank you,
Joel

Yours looks different than mine.
Graham has two-column display showing, while most people use no-column display, i.e. continuous scrolling.
Note that we both use Surface Text, otherwise Logos would also show hits in the footnotes where the passages are referenced. The search works without quotes, too, so in my opinion not a bit more difficult than that other software.
Have joy in the Lord!

Yes, I was aware of the two columns.
No, I meant more it doesn't only show the wanted text.
I have seen without the surface text I got an error. But if I select it. I also see the same. I also don't see the "search result". It doesn't search at all.

I also don't see the "search result". It doesn't search at all.
Replicating your search in the KJV 1900 I get the same as the NIV:
In the menu in the Locator Bar under "Article" it does have Search Result and it gives 6 hits. But I think I found a hint: The Inline Search inherits the search parameters from the Search panel (which is horrible design and many users including myself have begged Logos to make the search settings visible in the Inline Search (now that they are visible buttons at all, they used to be completely hidden earlier).
I can replicate zero hits when I turn the Search settings to Narrow.
Change them to Default or Broad and the results come in.
Have joy in the Lord!
Yes, thats definitely a lacking feature. In Accordance it is so easy to do.
er..ah... I find a Passage list is easy to do... I dislike the inline search method but understand why some might prefer it.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
1.The Search tool needs bible:"Matthew 11:25–27" OR bible:"John 5:45–47", but it will not open those verses in a bible, which is what I suspect you are asking?
2. Create a Passage List for those verses and use Open All to display them in your bible.
Click the bible version ( e.g.. ESV) to select another bible.

Thanks Dave. But this seems to be more a turn around than a feature.
