difficulties searching for biblical words
I feel like I have a love-hate relationship with Logos. For example, I greatly appreciate how clean the formatting is regarding user data. While I wish notes could be in parallel and for the default sort to be by reference, I nonetheless love the little icons which I can hover over and see my note, and I love how clean and organized the sermon builder is. I love how the headings are done, etc, etc, and best of all how easily I can export my work! As someone who does research, this is huge for such an easy export function. I also love how extrabiblical info is handled regarding quotes and passage lists, etc. So there is a lot I truly love, and the more I work with Logos, the more I like it.
That said, I am still REALLY struggling with the actual Biblical text. I find it pretty frustrating that the cross-highlighting is not available in the "search" pane except for the actual searched word, but then the Inline search is also sort of a commotion. It has cross highlighting, but it highlights prior searches, and further, I don't seem to be able to see verses outside of the search.
In this specific example I am searching for קֹול but I want to see the context, and specifically, I need to see 1Sam 15:18. It appears, however, that the only way to see 1Sam 15:18 is to delete my search, is this correct?
In case it helps, I can attach an Accordance screenshot clarifying my goal.

In other books, you will have options to change the visible context around the search results (this shows up on the right side of the search bar to the left of the "send to" and "graph" buttons), but the one you are using doesn't support any context other than "Verse".
So, your only option here is to open the Search panel and do your Morph search on your book there, but view the results in the BHS panel. If you open the Locator bar (from the panel menu) you can change the drop down there to "Search Result" and use the up/down arrow buttons there to navigate between results.

Hi @Andrew Batishko,
Thank you for your response, and I am grateful to hear there is a way to do this. However, I don't see the locator bar where I can change the search result. I first thought you meant "send search results here" but that didn't do anything, so then I started to look for something by the locator bar, but all I can find doesn't look related.
I am attaching a screenshot of where I am at, but the only dropdown thing I can find doesn't seem to be what you mean. Are you able to post a screenshot of what I am supposed to be clicking on?
Thank you for your help.

You need to open the panel menu (the three dots button in the upper right corner of the panel) and find the option for the locator bar and toggle that on. It will add a new area below the search pane.

Hi @Andrew Batishko,
I am still having difficulty. I ran a search of διδάσκω, and it worked fine. I then did another search of φυλακή using the same method, but when I click the next arrow to get to the next search hit, instead of showing the active search, it is still stuck on the old search.
Could you clarify how I can fix this?
