    Welcome to the forums Michael!

    You begin by selecting Search (the magnifying glass icon), then your search type Basic or Bible. Then you select the book range you wish to search. If you have a preset range you can select it. If not then you create your new range by selecting the down going triangle furthest right icon. You then select the big plus icon. Next you choose Add Reference choose your book then select Done. You must now give your range a title enter this info in Range Title (usually the same as your Reference). Select Done again. You should now be ready to make your search!

    Thanks for responding, but I select Bible from the drop down, but I don't see an option after that to select books.

    I don't find the "furthest right" icon or the down arrow.

    Ah I see, when you say Book  you mean books from your Library. Faithlife only searches your Top prioritized bible, your Top Bibles and your LEB I believe. It cannot search your "entire" Library (I put entire in quotes bc even the Logos app doesn't search your entire library) for that you need the Logos app.

    Are you using the iOS app or the Android app?

    I'm sorry Michael I don't use this app often. I was mistaken you can search your library go to Home--> Resources--> Library

    The most likely reason you're not seeing the rightmost selection is that you don't have Bible Search selected. There is no down going triangle this is an error on my part the rest of what I said should apply. We'll get this figured out. [:)]
