I needed to restart Logos, and now when I tried to do an "All" search, that AI thing is there. How do I get rid of it?
Click on Books, then make sure it's set to Precise instead of Smart. That will give you the non-AI search engine.
All only uses AI searching.
It seems Logos is giving everyone free access to it for a limited time.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an option to entirely hide it, but if you ignore the All tab and go strictly to the Books tab and make sure it's set to Precise, that will give you what you need for sure.
I wish Logos would add an option to allow uses to completely hide AI features if need be. While I have personally benefited from Smart Search, there are some users who simply do not want or are unable to use AI features at all.
The other option I'm seeing is you can go offline, but that wouldn't be practical in the event you need to install updates, new books, or backup/sync user content.
If you enter Precise search syntax into the All search tab, it will automatically switch to Precise search mode. But there's no setting to switch it to Precise search yourself unfortunately.
Hi @Kiyah, could you provide a screenshot of what you mean? I'm not sure how to enter the precise search syntax.
@Kristin A precise search uses search operators or data labels:
earth NEAR heaven
headword:Baptism
What types of searches do you normally put in the All tab? If you want more control, you should use the Books tab as Dr. Baker suggested.
@Kiyah Thanks for that! Good to know there is a way to get Precise searches out of All in case we need to.
This is amazing.
Hi @Kiyah, I see. My understanding is that headword:baptism would ONLY pull instances where baptism is the main topic, and would disregard instances where it is just randomly mentioned. Is that correct? If so, that would be an issue since when I am doing an "All" search I really mean it, and I want "all" hits. The AI thing is advertised that "it returns highly-relevant information from Logos resources and generates a synopsis from the most relevant results." That is specifically why I don't want AI (one of the reasons…). I am a researcher and am looking for information which has been neglected, so obviously what I am looking for wouldn't be classified as "highly-relevant" by a robot. So I am worried the "headword" command would do the same thing and disregard some of what I am looking for since it is not the main topic in whatever book. I can't do earth NEAR heaven since I am normally just searching one word.
The problem with the "books" tab is that it only searches my books, and disregards my notes and sermons, if I understand correctly.
My understanding is that headword:baptism would ONLY pull instances where baptism is the main topic, and would disregard instances where it is just randomly mentioned. Is that correct? If so, that would be an issue since when I am doing an "All" search I really mean it, and I want "all" hits.
Headwords are the entries in dictionaries and encyclopedia. headword:baptism would pick up dictionary, encyclopedia, and similar works that have an article titled "baptism".
But to switch to precise, it is easy enough to ask for baptism OR baptisms to force the switch
Hi @MJ. Smith, what you said seems to confirm that the headword wouldn't work for my needs. Regarding switching to precise, how do I do that? As you can see on my screenshot, my only option is this AI stuff. If I try to click on the AI symbol the only thing I can do is have Logos define what the AI is doing, but I can't get rid of it
@Kristin I used headword as just an example of what a data label was. I wasn't suggesting that you use that specific data label for your searches.
@MJ. Smith the 'baptism OR baptisms' suggestion is a great tip that I hadn't thought of.
Hi @Kiyah,
Ok, thanks, and I finally understand. As mentioned, I only search for one word at a time, but as an example, let's say I wanted the exact hit of "ark" or something, I see that I can say: ark OR fakeword and it defaults to precise and obviously only captures the word I really want since my other word can't be found.
So I admit this is sort of obnoxious compared to how it was before Logos restarted, but at least there is a way to sneak around the AI and keep it's nose out of my work.
Has someone tried it with "ark" yet? Would that force a precise search?

I am still having issues with copying a bunch of verses. I understand that I go to Share —> Passage List, but then after that the passage list is blank and wants me to manually add verses. It also says I can drag and drop the verses, which I would love to if I could select the verses, but there again doesn't seem to be a…
“Some people see things as they are and ask 'Why?' Others...” I'm probably, sadly, more in that first group. Can't help but wonder how a reverse interlinear assigns 2 different transliterations for such similar constructions in Zc 5.2.

Is there any way to duplicate a tab within the mobile app? I have some tabs set up and sized perfectly and there are times I’d like to duplicate and link them to other resources within a particular layout and duplicating would make it much faster.
