Note the More brings up the message "no more passages to list"
Hi @MJ. Smith — the short answer here is, we don't know if there are more results until we try to get the next page. The nature of the underlying technology (or rather, our approach to using that technology) prevents us from knowing upfront how many results there will be (I think you may have made a separate post about the lack of result counts in Smart Bible search … this also explains why we don't / can't show the total result count).
We could of course eagerly fetch more pages of results before deciding whether to display a more button, but there's cost associated with each page of results we fetch—cost that's significant enough that it doesn't make sense to get the results unless/until you (the user) specifically requests them.

Good answer unless one tries to "solve the problem" i.e. why not gather one more answer than you are displaying i.e say you are displaying 50 responses: the first time you ask for 51 responses and display 50 —> if there is no 51st response waiting, you know you are done; second time request 50 responses, display the 51st from the first query and 1-49 of the second query … an so on… I don't think the addition of 1 additional response one time has a significant cost AND it saves the cost of a separate query to tell you there are no more.
From a UI perspective, hiding one of the results we get to ensure that clicking "more" always displays at least one result is an interesting idea.

If I search for figurative language occurrences in a Concordance Section I get a search for Your Bibles as opposed to my Top Bible This seems unnecessary Is there a particular reason for this?

Para a IA pesquisar em livro em inglês preciso perguntar em inglês. Seria melhor se ao perguntar em qualquer idioma, a IA pesquisasse em toda biblioteca, independente do idioma.
This is using Logos and Verbum 47.0 beta 3 on Windows 11 Using the Texts section in the Factbook on Logos, partway down (in some cases) is a horizontal line with locked resources underneath - I assume this is to easily separate out books we own from books we don't. On Verbum, neither the line nor the locked resources are…
• The Top Bible icon opens the user’s top Bible to the most recently viewed passage. • The Factbook button opens the Factbook to the most recently opened entry. Verbum Help (Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2024). Why is one an icon and the other a button? is there a distinction being made or is it documentation inconsistency?
