I want to find all the times God asks a question; I don't care who the addressee is. How would I form this search?
This might be the search you are looking for:
I did a smart search, it got a lot of results and looks pretty good…this is the start of the results but there are many more…
Thanks, Brian, that is it. I prefer the precise search in this case rather than just the smart one.

Precise Bible Search:- speaker:God INTERSECTS question:* (if you have the dataset) You can get more specific results e.g. speaker:God INTERSECTS question:Rhetorical:False
Thanks, Dave. I don't quite understand which parts of the text below I'm supposed to use in a search (which probably shows that I don't understand how search syntax works…). From Questions in the Bible Dataset Documentation:
That documentation has a Search syntax from Logos 9 which is out of date, but you should be able to paste it into the Search box and it will be reformatted e.g. {Label Question WHERE Rhetorical ~ false AND Type ~ Cause} ==⇒ question:(rhetorical:false AND type:Cause) from which you can extract question:(rhetorical:false) and omit the parentheses. The documentation contains the values for Type.

My Sermon Manager on the desktop has stopped syncing with the same tool on the web app. (And yes, I'm logged in under the same account.) It looks like it stopped in late May (ish). Any ideas?
i have tried typing 10 commandments in and out of quotes and keep getting redirected to a topic called ‘Law’ (in a big blue heading!) the content of which is not what I am looking for. How do I stop this redirection? i did a search (which defaults to a bible search and not a book search … not sure where to change this). I…
I moved this from the books and courses forum because I got no response. Bill✭✭✭May 9, 2025 I am having trouble understanding what the criteria is for Type:Study Guide. I used to think they had to have questions with answer boxes, or a question section after each chapter, or a study questions section at the end with the…
I linked notes and highlights under different Favorites folders on my desktop app. I don't see and can't access any of them on my mobile app (Android phone).
