Reboot: Finding content in user documents

I am rebooting this request since Logos 7 has evidently not brought it about yet. It was a really nice progress that we could have a preview of part of individual entries (e.g., individual notes) in which a search term is found (in the search window results), but it is still mightily annoying not to be able to be taken right where it is in the entry itself. When one has many long notes, it is time-consuming and frustrating to have to find the search result by scanning through many paragraphs of text.

Or has any workaround be found for this?

Workaround is converting note(s) to Personal Book(s). Logos wiki has => Personal Books

Thankful for Heading Style(s) in Word that enable Navigation pane plus become Table of Contents in Personal Book(s).

Thankful for Huge encyclopaedia: The Dictionary of Christianity and the Bible

Thanks, Smiley, but as far as I understand it, Personal Books are not a suitable workaround unless it is only for a specific project that one needs to conduct such searches (as opposed to being able to do so on the fly). Unless things have changed since the last time I looked into this, PBs are not editable within Logos and so not an alternative to Notes. I don't want to keep on exporting the latest updated note file and keep on compiling a new PB every time I need to do that.

I was more asking for a workaround as in, a different way to achieve this with notes.

Logos 7 => New Feature: Sermon Editor can be edited within Logos plus easily exported to Word document for Personal Book creation/update (includes Table of Contents using Headings).

Caveat: Notes can be attached to many places while Sermon documents cannot.

Logos 7.1 Release Candidate 1 shows Your Document search has same results for Sermon as Notes:

Search can find word(s), but clicking on document search result only opens Sermon document (does not place cursor at search result nor highlight)

There is an open case in our bug tracker to improve this. We know many customers are eager to see it implemented, but I have no news to share right now. I'll add a link to this thread to the case.
