Identifying the names and number of bibles in my Library.

in Libronics when you go into your library and type in the search bar BIBlE all the bibles in your library will be listed. At that point you can create a collection. Logos 4 does not appear to have the same capability. When I enter my library and type BIBLE in the search bar every book that has the word BIBLE come up which make it difficult to identify the bibles and cumbersome to create a collection. Is there a way to pull up just the bibles in my library? I have tried type:bible and it has not worked for me. Help!

you can enter type:bible

You may also want to look at this page on the wiki regarding collection. I also suggest you watch the video Mark Barnes did on collections

if you have tried type:bible and that didn't work for you then something is wrong with Logos.

Let's check that out try

type:dictionary
type:"Bible Commentary"

If these don't work you probably have an issue with one of the databases that Logos uses. Enable Diagnostic Logging. Open Logos, try to filter by the types, close Logos then upload your logs to the forum before restarting Logos.

I suspect either the databases in C:\Users\<>Username\AppData\Local\Logos4\Data\<random>\LibraryCatalog or the Metadata in C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Logos4\Data\<random>\Updates

I'm not certain so uploading logs should let someone confirm what's going on.

Thanks, i"ll give it a try. I did try this, type:bible and I got every book with the word bible in it. so I will try this type: bible old and new testament and see if that will limit the search to just the bibles/

Got a number of good suggestions and will be implementing them this afternoon. If all don't work will try uploading as you suggested.

I will try this type: bible

Do not use a space after the colon. That will definitely give you unwanted results.

type:bible is the only way to achieve that, so if it's not working other things aren't going to help, I'm afraid. If you're still getting issues, in addition to the logs Kevin mentioned, a screenshot of what you're doing and what happens will really help.

Good thought, that would be most helpful.

Stephen, just in case you don't know how to get a screenshot see: http://wiki.logos.com/screenshot for help.
