[ACK] Logos 6 for Mac, within the last two updates search has become worthless.

when I type in a search word or term using filters to limit to top bibles, entire bible or all passages. Font size or window size reduces to less than half, text ballon does not open when mouse scrolled over reference, and other unexpected issues. Tried reindex with no improvement.

We'd like to try and help - search works fine on my mac. Would you be able to post a screenshot? It is also worth posting your logs.

Upload at least two Screenshots of different searches that are captured by the logs.

Hope these logs are correct for each screen shot? I work with two monitors and I had trouble capturing the correct screen.

Thanks,

John,

Sent screen shots and logs to Mr. Wooten, could not figure out how to copy you.

Hi Richard

Sent screen shots and logs to Mr. Wooten, could not figure out how to copy you.

Posting screenshots in forum threads ensure they are visible to everyone so that's fine.

Can you confirm these are the correct screenshots and the exact issue you are seeing?

In the first screenshot I assume you are concerned about the search for "death hell grave". This actually causes Logos to search for a verse which contains all three words "death AND hell AND grave" and very few Bibles have all those words in a single verse.

If you want to search for verses which contain at least one of them try "death OR hell OR grave" or "death, hell, grave" (where the "," acts as an OR operator)

And the results in the second screenshot seem reasonable

Please clarify

This occurs when default text size is set to a value greater than 100%.

We have an internal bug report for this problem already. I've added a link to this thread to the case.

Good news: this has already been fixed internally, and will be addressed in the next update to the software.

This screen shot may be more direct. Notice that I searched for "weeks" the results seem fine except when I roll the pointer over a result it does not match. The Daniel 10:2 search reference reports Jeremiah 5:24?? When I try to click it to open it does not respond. I have reindexed and it does not improve. I can switch filter settings and it will start to work but not for long. I have tried switching from All References to Entire Bible, Top Bibles to individual translations with mixed results. I have been using this software since version 4 and I have never had a search problem until a few weeks ago.

This bug is present in the version of the software you are running.

It will be fixed in a new version (that is not yet available).
