OS X: Search Logos in Spotlight

Hi guys, I did a search and didn't see this mentioned.

I use spotlight frequently for quickly accessing files that I don't care to take the time to browse to, as well as for quick calculations, etc.

It would be great if you could create a spotlight plugin that would make the Logos index accessable to Spotlight on the Mac. That way I could search for: "Romans 7" and it would offer a result that would open Logos to the proper place in my bible.

Anyhow, keep up the great work on the Mac.

Also, if a keyboard-command could be issued to automatically activate the search box in logos that would be great.

Looking at wiki Search page in Searching for Bible Verses and other References section, wonder what a search for "Romans 7" should include ? (e.g. exact, superset, subset, intersection, ~)

Observation: Logos 4 stores index information in SQLite database files (not know if Spotlight importer possibilities).

Workaround idea: create html files with logosres URL's and reference text for spotlight search.

Workaround idea: create html files with logosres URL's and reference text for spotlight search.

Logos 4.3 expanded workaround options: can create docx files for Personal Book tool, which can contain links to Logos resources.

Wiki Getting Started with Logos => Favorites section could be helpful; have added several search examples to Favorites for quick click access, then change verse reference.

Agreed this would be a fantastic enhancement for Mac OSX users.

Spotlight searches being enabled for Author/Title/Summary metadata being auto indexed with a Spotlight 3rd-party importer (developed by Logos Mac Dev Team) whenever the Logos Library of resources have been updated. New books and resource updates would lead to automatically adding them into the Spotlight index.

Searches in Spotlight would enable a launch of Logos and open the appropriate book.

Thanks for reconsidering this request...

Welcome [:D]

Thread => Using logosres links on Macintosh has useful tip for opening Logos resources with web page redirection.

Apologies: personally tend to keep Logos 5 open most of the time so can use Logos Library to quickly search resource metadata.
