Finding Greek or Hebrew in a Resource

Is there a way to search for all instances of the use of ANY Greek or Hebrew in a resource?

I don't particularly care about the words being used as I'm searching. I want to find how many times Greek and/or Hebrew is used in a resource (not transliteration, which I think would be impossible). It could be as simple as an alpha or an entire word, it wouldn't matter.

Does that make sense? Is there a way to set that up? Thank you!

Hi Lewis - and welcome to the forums

Is there a way to search for all instances of the use of ANY Greek or Hebrew in a resource?

I'm afraid I can't think of any way of doing this as the words are not tagged to indicate their language

I think saying inconsistently tagged may be more accurate see TIP of the day: Search foreign languages - French, German, Spanish ... - Logos Forums

I think do-ability depends on the objective. I was curious to get an approximate OL-ishness of resources, especially journals. I select a common word, like o or kai. Letters don't work. Not scientific, and there's ifs and buts.

So are you suggesting something like greek:* ?

And that reminded me you could filter by language in the Concordance Tool

No lie—I've been using Logos for 15 years and never thought to use the Concordance for anything like that. I wonder if there's a way to get it to work on a Book Collection, and not just singular books.

I’m afraid the Concordance Tool only works on one book at a time

Yes, I was. I always remember this because of the way Logos employees stated the handling of transliterated languages.

The g:* is absolutely working in a collection, so that's awesome. I have a resource-heavy library, so it's making my M2 really work (I swear I can hear the solid-state hard drive making sounds like an old disk drive). Thank you all so much!
