Brand new Logos user, very excited. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to do the first thing I need. How would I do a search for all perfect infinitives in the Greek NT and Septuagint?
To run the search you want you click on the search icon/select morph select the text you want to search and type @VR?N. Actually when you type the @ a drop down will allow you to select the morphology.
To search both the GNT and LXX you need to create a collection that has those two texts. The collections are found under tools. Here is a screenshot of the search and the collection.
If you have additional questions or need more detailed instructions, check back or check out the Wiki
Awesome! This is why we use LOGOS right? Can't quite get it to work. Here's a screenshot. Why is it searching 23 resources when my collection only has 2 resources in it?
Well, that's not going to help. The rich text editor is not too user friendly. How do you insert a screenshot and make it bigger? I attempted to make it bigger by going into the edit function in the text editor, but there's no way to constrain proportions so I don't have a chance.

And now we can see your screenshot, we can answer your main question. I'm afraid the answer is "I don't know"! Everything looks OK. I have just two suggestions:
Are you sure you didn't start the search, then change the dropdown to your collection AFTER the search had populated? It might be worth just trying again.
Is there a bug in the Mac version? (I'm on Windows, so will leave it to someone else to comment)

As I wrote earlier, it looks like your first bullet scenario (YYNJ's first hits come from http://www.logos.com/product/3937/the-apostolic-fathers-greek-texts-and-english-translations, not from the two bible texts shown in the collection at the time of screenshot ), the second one would really be a weird bug. At least on Windows, when changing the collection, it seems simply re-loading the search doesn't do, one needs to direct it elsewhere and then come back (a retart of Logos might do the same).

I got curious (not having tried morph searches in the past) and found that it works fine, but my results seem to differ from yours - that may be due to the different resources we use: my LXX has no Logos morphology and my NA27 neither, thus Logos morph yields zero, but GRAMCORD and Swanson get the same number of hits:
Is the big difference to your results really attributable to aparatuses and variant readings? When I save the results as a passage list, it says it contains only 114 entries, see attached 8255.VRN_in_greek_bible_text_morphed.rtf

Create a screenshot and save it; click on the paperclip to insert it.
Just save your screenshot as .jpg or .gif file and attach the file as described.

Still curious,

Different Morphologies don't use the same morphological tags.
In Logos morphology @VR?N = Verb, Perfect, Infinitive so you have to type and then select:
Verb + (under Tense)Perfect + (under Mood) Infinitive
and run separate searches for your NA27 (whether Swanson morph or Logos morph) and Septuaginta (GRAMCORD morph).

Aaaaah, I didn't know that. Thanks a lot!
In the meantime I found that I do have Logos-morph-tagged ressources both for OT and NT, which brings me near:
