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.

Here are three things I cannot do in footnotes of a Logos book. I cannot highlight text. I think I supposed to be able to because right-clicking brings up the context menu. But clicking on a highlight choice does not change anything. I cannot anchor my note to the footnote text. The "Add note" menu choice is not available.…
Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to not be able to get simple information out of Logos e.g. which Bibles contain the Letter of Manasseh? the list should be a subset of the Bibles containing the Apocrypha. One can easily bulid a search to find them only to find one facing a chasm of how to get them from here to…

Hey All - I didn't realize it until after preaching last week, but Sermon Editor within Logos is not bringing in/preserving the capitalized LORD format of Yahweh from the ESV. When I'm in Sermon Builder and I type in a reference and hit CMD+Enter, the text is pulled in correctly. However, if I hit TAB it looses it's…
Ok don't laugh… This may be a dumb question. I am no biblical scholar, I am a 30 yr college student who just wants to understand how to read and study her Bible better. So my question is in BDAG it states "extended Definitions are in bold roman" and "English formal equivalents are in bold italic/normal italic." Then goes…
