When I do a Bible search with this syntax (person:Jesus INTERSECTS lemma.g:κηρύσσω) the result fails to bring up passages such as Matt 4:17, Matt 9:35, Matt 11:1, etc. I guess I don't understand the exact concept of INTERSECTS. Thanks for your help.
My technique to diagnose these problems is to run each side of the "INTERSECTS" search separately:
You can see that in Matthew 4:17, the two search hits do not "INTERSECT".
In general, the person tagging is only applied for implied subjects of verbs, so person:Jesus won't find every verb where Jesus is the subject.
person:Jesus
Thanks Bradley for responding. I'm confused by your statement "You can see that in Matthew 4:17, the two search hits do not "INTERSECT"". What counts as intersecting for the two searches? I guess I don't understand the specific difference between the operator INTERSECTING vs AND.
AND means the hits are in the same verse (or same "article" for Books Search).
INTERSECT means the coloured search hit highlights have at least one character in common. In this example (in Matt 4:17), "Jesus" and "preach" have nothing in common / do not overlap / do not intersect (different way of saying the same thing).
(EQUALS means the coloured search hit highlights are exactly the same.)
I think I understand. Subject-verb counts as intersection, but subject-object does not. Is that correct?
That is not a good way to think of it. implied subject/verb do intersect in that the share the conjugational suffix. But it is best to think of it as Bradley put it - do they overlap? For example, the speaker and what the speaker says overlap because of how labels are constructed.
Thanks MJ, that helps. So is there a way to do a search in Logos that will find all of the verses where Jesus is preaching to include Matthew 4:17?

@Lankford Oxendine Do any of these give you what you need?
person:Jesus BEFORE lemma.g:κηρύσσω or person:Jesus WITHIN 8 WORDS lemma.g:κηρύσσω or
person:Jesus NEAR lemma.g:κηρύσσω
Intersects have six legs.
Arachternids have eight.
Hope this helps. 🤣
I think what you want is a clause search.
verb-lemma:κηρύσσω subject:Jesus
Hi @Justin Gatlin,
I am just sort of wandering around random threads trying to learn things, so with that as a preface, I clicked on that link in your comment and got a strange error. I thought the problem is that it is "all" so I tried "Bible" "Books" and "Morph" and it all gave the same sort of error. Here is a screenshot in case it means anything to anyone.
Kristin,
You need to do a clause search with this syntax. It doesn't appear you have that option with your package.
Hi @Lankford Oxendine,
Oh, ok, thank you for clarifying this, I appreciate it. :)
Is there a written instruction manual in digital form (pdf) for Logos 10 that I can study so I can be effective with Logos 10? Manuals were common in the DOS days.
I enjoy using the Thompson Chain Reference Bible and I was hoping that there would be an available option on Logos to purchase. It appears that at one time there was an option. I was curious to see if there was any talk of adding it back or if it will no longer be available for purchase. Thank you!
Every once in a while, I use the AI outline generator in the Sermon Assistant feature. In the past, when I've pasted it into the bottom of a note within Logos, the outline has retained much of it's formatting, like bolded headings, etc. However, I just updated to Logos v39, and it's stopped doing so. I don't know if the…
For about two weeks the Logos Sermon Editor has been running painfully slow and freezing frequently on me. Sometimes I need to restart Logos. Sometimes it will buffer for about 30-60 seconds and then start up again. All I am doing is typing like a normal person. I called customer service last week and they said they are…
Can anyone tell me how to get this button back in my sermon builder? I really loved this feature and one day, I opened sermon builder and it was gone. I even signed up for pro subscription thinking maybe logos made it a part of this new subscription base service and nothing. I do not regret getting the pro subscription but…
