Comprehensive list of library filter queries
My primary question here is "Does anyone know of a comprehensive list of library filter queries?".
What prompted this question was a search in my library for a book that I knew that I had purchased but I was unable to find. The Vyrso book is called "Jesus: Why the World is Still Fascinated by Him" and, at the time I didn't know who the author was. I started searching for the whole title but was not successful so I did a search of the unique word "fascinated" but again I was unsuccessful. To make a long story shorter I ended up doing a Google search for the book, found out that it was written by Tim LaHaey. Then I searched for his name and found the book listed with only the title "Jesus". Somehow when it became a Vyrso book the subtitle was not included so it was very difficult to find. I have since updated the title in my library.
I spoke to Mike Bryant from Logos who was very helpful and suggested that I could have searched for this by typing title:"Jesus" which still revealed 138 hits in my library but at least they were all with Jesus in the title. This caused me to wonder what other kind of queries I may be missing. As the saying goes "you don't know what you don't know". I thought that the Logos wiki may have contained a comprehensive list but didn't find one when I looked. Perhaps I was looking in the wrong place. Is there such a list someplace? If not, I think it would be a great addition.

Here's a comprehensive list on the wiki. It's not very intuitive to find, but I found it by searching for library filters in the wiki search box, and then paging through the Library page. I knew this table existed, so I knew what I was looking for, but others might have a harder time finding it. Perhaps it needs to be made more prominent.

Thanks so much Rosie. I thought for sure that there would be a document like this but didn't have success when I searched. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. That is a huge page so I see why it was difficult to find. I think I'm going to spend some time reading it to see what I didn't know or that I used to know but forgot. Does anyone else have a good "forgetter" like me? [:S]

And, not very well documented there, but the possible values for edition: are logos, ebook (for Vyros books), and user (for user-created books, i.e., Personal Books). These can be abbreviated l, e, and u, respectively. So you can filter by edition:u to find all your PB's, or edition:e to find all your Vyrso books.

If you're on a PC just hit F1 when your cursor is in the library filter field. With one more click you'll end up here: logos4:Help;ref=libraryfilterfields

Nifty. It doesn't do a very good job of explaining the options available for edition: though. And it doesn't explain that you can use greater-than and less-than operators for pubdate: epubdate: and rating:. The Library wiki page doesn't explain this either. For example, these are valid Library filters:
pubdate:<1900
rating:>=4

It's also worth mentioning that the majority of these filters work on mobile, with some limitations (I think we only accept one filter in a search, for example)

That is cool Mark. You are a wealth of information. How did you even learn this in the first place?

F1 nearly always means 'contextual help' on PCs. Whenever I'm stuck I press it.

I knew that in general but I just never thought about it being applicable to a specific field.
