Library Query Question

DMB said:

I'm not JT, but no ... I solve it by just using a unique tag, easily typed in.

The reason I am asking is for a query to QA my initial tagging and also to check if Logos has changed the type of any books (eg monograph -> bible commentary).  Resources with type "Apparatus" and "Bible Apparatus" as an example, I will have a tag called "apparatus" and "bibleapparatus" respectively.  Problem is type:apparatus is pulling in both types and mytag:apparatus is pulling in both tags.  I can definitely do what JT suggested to code around it, but was hoping there was a query operator I had missed that would force the query to find only the exact value to make the query more simple.

The feedback is definitely appreciated!

Using JT's suggestion, here is the full Library query I created and saved as a Favorite. I will run this Favorite every month or two to see if I missed any initial tagging and/or if Logos has changed the type on any resources I own.

If you do something similar with your own tagging of each resource by type and want to use this query, search for MyTag and change the value to the right in the quotations to the tag you use for each type.

You could make a case (Suggestion) for {Type "Ancient Manuscript"} as that would be exact

FYI, the problem is not just with type Ancient Manuscript.  Any type that is encompassed in another type causes problems.  So Apparatus, Commentary, Cross-Reference Index, Devotional, Journal, Media Collection, and Survey all cause the same issue.  Interestingly type Bible does not.

A Suggestion has been created: https://feedback.logos.com/boards/logos-desktop-app/posts/add-the-type-to-extension-syntax.

Thanks all!

You interpreted that the way I intended!  I supported the Suggestion.

Thanks Dave.
