I have a book that is part of the works of Thomas Watson. This book has some teachings on the lords prayer. But it does not show up in Factbook. Is this bug should it be reported.

    Resources are not perfectly tagged to appear in Factbook in all of the appropriate places, though this is improving. This thread is relevant to your question.

    @Aaron Hamilton thank you for the reply. My question or help needed is, when I do a study on something like for example prayer, or temptation or testing. How do I know what books cover something on this so I can do research on the books in library.

    Smart search and precise search will be more effective at combing through your library for this purpose than Factbook.

    @Aaron Hamilton can you please be so kind as to explain to me how this will be done. For example when I am studying the Temptation of Jesus. It has a few topic you can explore like obedience, testing and so on. How does one do a search to see what books cover this topic.

    You are exclusively a mobile app user, correct?

    @Aaron Hamilton yes and no, I finally got a Macbook Air M4. But I am more mobile than stationary. So I can use both.

    I would recommend doing your primary search with your MacBook. Once you locate the resources you are interested in, you can tag them with #ReadLater. This will cause them to display in the Read Later section of the mobile app:

    To search your library for a given topic, e.g. obedience, you can open the Search tool on Desktop and navigate to the Books tab. Here you can select either Precise search or Smart search. Smart search will allow you to search with natural language, while Precise search will return hits on the specific words and syntax used in the search. Here are two examples, one of Smart search and one of Precise search:

    If you prefer, you can also run these searches on your mobile device by opening the Search tool:
