"type" in searches

Greetings all:

I am trying to create filters (for looking in my library and for collections). However, the nomenclature of the various "types" is not always clear to me.

If I want to exclude, the "type" Bible Commentary, what do I call it?

ANDNOT type:BibleCommentary does not seem to work.

The same for "My Tags"

Is there a page on the wiki that will tell me what to use?

Thanks

Chuck

Hi Chuck

If I want to exclude, the "type" Bible Commentary, what do I call it?

ANDNOT type:BibleCommentary does not seem to work.

Try myrating:>=0 ANDNOT type:"bible commentary"

The "myrating" expression includes everything in your library and the type is for Bible Commenatries. Note that the two words need to be separated by a space and in quote marks.

mytag:tagname does for that.

Is there a page on the wiki that will tell me what to use?

http://wiki.logos.com/Library__#Search_Fields_that_you_can_use_in_the_Find_box would be a place to start

Hope this helps - please post back if it still doesn't work

Thank you so much! This is very helpful!

I defaulted to "bible commentary" but thought there may be an abbreviation.

Not to the best of my knowledge

You can get away with:

rating:>=0 -type:commentary

which will exclude bible commentaries and other types of commentary. The minus symbol will work for this simple expression.

(Graham is forgetting that myrating is a beta test thing)

Graham was having beta-tea with Milford earlier this afternoon.

Sorry about that!
