I want to find a sentence containing both the words: godliness and being
I'd probably search 'godliness NEAR being' (without the quotes).
Okay, maybe with the quotes, like this: "godliness" NEAR "being"
When I ran a search without the quotes, I got other forms of the words (godly, be, etc). There's a probably a way to turn off matching all forms of the word in an inline search, but I have no idea how. When I search with quotes, I got only the actual words.
Oops … I should 'read'!
Hi @Roger Owen
Are you looking specifically for these two words to be in the same sentence?
I ask because the standard "search boundary" in Logos is the verse level.
Specifically those two words in the same sentence in the book, "Spiritual Disciplines For the Christian Life"
@Roger Owen
Is this what you were looking for?
I couldn't do an inline search because the book (revised edition) is in my print library. I have the first edition in Logos, and I did an inline search on that one but with no results.
The command using NEAR suggested by Yasmin may well be the best option - but please note it constrains results to where search terms are within 48 characters of each other.
Alternatively you could try WITHIN n WORDS and try different values of n
Logos doesn't support "within sentence searching" constraints.

How do I change the size of the font in Greek?
Is there any documentation of what the AI features are so far, and what their intended uses are? Would be nice if there was also info about capabilities and limitations. Something concise so you do not have to spend all day on it? I think this is something Logos should have. I couldn’t find it. Did I miss it?
Until a few updates ago, I was always able to do a precise search in my Bibles for Ge 1.1, for example, and it would immediately jump to chapter and verse. I can still do that in the bar on the desktop app, but how do I set my phone to do that, too? Thank you, thank you, thank you! —Ellen
In my Bible study group I go through the story of David with the special focus what David thought about the single stories. Therefore I look in his psalms. Is it possible to limit a Bible search on David’s Psalms?
