How do I use the search feature to find all the imperatives in a text? For instance… How do I find all the imperatives in the book of Ephesians? How do I find all the imperatives in Greek?
You need to do a morph search and you should end up with something like this
How do I find all the imperatives in Greek?
This type of search is done against the original language texts - so we can do them for Hebrew and Greek (and Aramaic) but not English

@Graham Criddle - Hello Graham, Is this kind of search on the horizon for searching with Logos's AI using plain language? Example: "Search for all imperatives in the Greek New Testament"
I hope so, but currently the AI assistant in beta failed on this as it is designed to interact with the books in the library as a LLM but not use the search tools. I Currently the morph search is pretty easy to do after you understand the process, but it is definitely non-intuitive to start. I think there is a ton of room to have a natural language search that can translate into complex searches like morphological searches. This seems like it will be pretty obvious high-priority as Logos learns to implement AI.
It depends on your intent. If you want a comprehensive list, AI is not the way to go. If you want representative examples, AI could easily be on the horizon.
But what are the imperatives:-
"The Speech Acts of the Bible Dataset is complementary to the Sentence Types of the Bible Dataset. One (Sentence Types) involves formal criteria, the other (Speech Acts) involves pragmatic criteria focused on the volition or intent of the speaker/writer.
The complementary nature of these datasets can be better understood in the nature of commands. Formally, these are imperative statements as annotated by the Sentence Types Dataset. However, other types of statements can be intended as commands without using the formal structure of an imperative. For example, a mother may tell her daughter, “The stove is hot.” While formally a declarative sentence, it could be intended as a command to not touch the stove. The Speech Act Dataset is used to locate these more pragmatic usages. The combination of the two (formal and pragmatic instances) can provide a more complete list of commands or questions.".

I deleted a folder in Favorites that had 66 sub-folders. Can I retrieve it and where is it? Thank you.
Can I set logos to disable page view in all resources, even in layouts where paged view has been enabled in some resources? It's irritating to have to turn it off for each resource every time. Why can't it be in Program Settings?
Rt2.7 “Bringing in the sheaves:” Langue and parole, grammatical possibilities/impossibility, qamets or qamets chatuph?, and the invalidity of inclusivist interpretation One of the exciting, motivating factors for studying the biblical languages is seeing that grammar may allow for multiple interpretations, as well as…
Can some one help me with the syntax involved in writing a rule for library collections. I watched the video several times, and can mimic the example in the video, but when I try to develop another rule, nothing happens. I guess what I need to understand is exactly what elements are necessary to write the rule and where do…
