Restricting search to specific books doesn't seem to work
I was using Logos on the iPad to try and search for the word "mecca" in the Quran.
However, even though the Quran is shown as being the resource to be searched, the results are pulled from many resources as in the shot below.
Is this a known issue?

Hi Alabama
Graham - Is "The Quran" one of your resource collections in L4? Are those resources available to you on the iPad?
"The Quran" is a book (actually there are two of them with the same name). They are both from the Perseus library.
They are available - in the sense of accessible - on my iPad and I have read them there. I haven't downloaded them to the iPad

Graham - I am a little confused by that button. I don't have my iPad with me at the moment, but if I remember correctly, it said something about "collections." I have noticed that collections are indeed in the list, although they are not (yet) syncing properly [I have OLD & deleted collections in my list]. I also have several individual books in the list. I am not sure why or how they got there [recently opened books, for example?].
Here is what I can tell you. When I search for a word in my "Counseling" collection, it indeed looks through my counseling books. I tried this with a non-counseling specific word (grace). I have another collection called "Discipleship Journal," which is self-explanatory. Since those resources are unavailable, the search ends up searching the entire library. I also search a specific resource, and it appeared to work properly (i.e. all the hits were from that book).
Your specific situation seems to fall outside of my experiences. Have you tried another collection or individual resource?

Hi Alabame
I have tried collections and they seem to operate as though the Entire Library were selected.
I tried other individual resources and it worked correctly.
"The Quran" is now working correctly as well!
I think there is something intermittently broken here.
