Search Syntax to find sermons I preached in 2015
Say I wanted to see what I preached about in a given month, can someone with some knowledge help me out with the particular syntax of finding all my sermon documents that were preached in February of 2015 (assuming I filled in the occasion information)?
Or, rather, can someone simply help me with the syntax of searching for anything within the metadata of a sermon document? Many thanks!

Hi Andrew,
Hope this helps. Taken from Searchable Labels in Logos Help:
SermonLabels a single sermon in a collection of sermons. A search for this label populates the "Sermons" guide section.
• Creator ~ "..." — normalized name of the person who developed and delivered the sermon
• Title ~ "..." — name given to the sermon by its creator
• Subtitle ~ "..." — ancillary title information given by its creator
• Series ~ "..." — series in which the sermon was originally preached, if any
• References ~ <Bible ...> — Bible references for the sermon as a whole
• Date ~ <Date ...> — when the sermon was first delivered
• Liturgical Date ~ <LiturgicalDate ...> — typically the liturgical date when the sermon was first deliveredFor example:
• {Label Sermon WHERE Author ~ "Charles H. Spurgeon" AND References ~ <Bible Romans 5-7>}
• {Label Sermon WHERE Title ~ "Signs of the King" AND Creator ~ "Timothy J. Keller" AND References ~ <Bible Acts 2:37-47> AND Date ~ <Date Aug 13, 1989> AND Series ~ "The King and the Kingdom"}

Not entirely. Use Creator rather than Author. I couldn't get Series and Date to recognise my sermon.
Use Basic Search > Your Documents.

Currently the following Sermon Label attributes are supported for searching Sermon documents:
- Title
- Creator
- References
I've created a case to make the Series and Date attributes also searchable.
In addition to doing a label search (which will also return sermons that have been tagged in your library), you can also do a search that finds values in specific fields. The following fields are supported:
- title
- author
- church
- series
- date - I think this may be document creation date, not the occasion date
- tag topic
- tag passage
- audience
- description
- notes
- content
I'll create a case to add the occasion date and venue fields as well.
Some example searches would be:
- series:"In the Beginning"
- [field tag topic]love
- [field date]<Date second half of 2016>

You should be able to search for this in 7.5 (7.5.0.0031).
