Labelling and Searching question

Hi.

I am experimenting with labelling but I cannot seem to get anything useful to work.

I would like to have have a highlighter style that can easily be applied to my resources which implies a particular topic, which in turn then allows me to easily find that topic again. For example, as I read I may come across a snippet related to the topic of Faith. I simply want to highlight it as such, and then find that (and other snippets later).

I have tried  style like this:

I can find later if I try {Label Topic}

I cannot find it if I try {Label Topic WHERE Type= "Faith"}

The Logos video found here https://logos.wistia.com/medias/j9f991ua03 seems to emphasise the need for speech marks around Faith, and a space after the equals. This seems a little pedantic (read not easy) but it does not seem to work with any combination. Where am I going wrong?

Ideally I would like it to be able to find my highlight using "<Topic Faith>" since this pops up in that list of options in the search box (and I am trying to find some use for that list of options ... )

I have also learnt (after much experimentation) that annotations have to be removed and re-applied if I want changes to the palette to be reflected ... I can understand that ... I have removed and re-applied the style here before searching ... 

Thanks.

    It looks as if you applied the concept faith rather than the text faith - try <Concept Faith> instead of faith or did you define the attribute as Concept?

    But that would pick up Faithlife coding rather than yours - I get 25 results in 20 resources and I didn't create the label. I personally avoid using terms that I think may have been used by Logos unless I know that Logos will process them like their own labels e.g. Sermons

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Thanks MJ.

    My new styles looks like this:

    where I have chosen Text (with Faith in the subsequent text box).

    This kind of leads to another question ... I was using 'Biblical Concept' and choosing Faith from the available options. My reasoning was that it would be more consistent, choosing from what was in the Logos datasets ... reserving the text option of anything else.

    How would I search for the 'Biblical Concept' of Faith? ... I presume that all of the options above can be used in searching?
