sorting through a search result

I have just done a large search that produced 883 hits. I want to now, as I review these hits, mark those that I deem relevant and then sort according to that 'mark'. Or some such thing. This would help me to leave the hits visible in the search window but easily identifiable as the ones I want to research further. Any suggestions?

You can't 'mark' results in the Search panel, but you can save them as a Visual Filter to 'mark' them in the resource.

I use two search panels. Say I do a search on 'healing' with "Match all word forms":

1. Refine original.

Choose New Testament or Old for the range, perhaps even another range e.g. the Gospels (Mt-Jn)
(If getting spurious results refine the search terms!)

2. Run related search in second panel using words of interest from original:

Jesus AND (demon, spirit) ---> use "Match case" to avoid (Holy) "Spirit"
Jesus AND well ---> ESV uses 'well' for 'healed'
etc.

3. Save interesting results in a Passage List and/or save as a Visual Filter.

You can restrict the bible to a Passage List in its Visual filters menu.
From same menu you can select a (search) Visual Filter.
With both selected you have a 'marked' Results list.

Dave, perhaps an explanation of what I was trying to do will help...

I was searching for any 'kingdom of God' type ideas in the LXX and so composed this search string and ran it in the LES.

<Root = lbs/el/βασιλευς>WITHIN 5 WORDS (<Lemma = lbs/el/οὐρανός> OR <Lemma = lbs/el/θεός> OR <Lemma = lbs/el/Δαυίδ> OR <Lemma = lbs/el/κύριος>)"

That produced 388 verses. By modifying your help I opened another search pane and began to generate another search in the LES for a series of different phrases that were in the texts I wanted. It ended up generating what I wanted - a search pane full of the hits I thought interesting.

Here is the search parameters I ended up using for that.

"Lord rules", "Lord King", "king before the Lord", "prepared your kingdom", "kingdom before the Lord", "Lord has put the kingdom", "lord King David", "throne of his father David", "among all the kingdoms", "dominion to David", "Lord reigns", "Lord's dominion", "anointed him to the Lord", "strong in his kingdom", "prevailed over his dominion", "Lord of King David", "king for the Lord", "king over Israel forever", "dominion of the Lord", "the dominion by his hand", "king of heaven", "kingdom is the Lord’s", "the Lord will sit as King", "God rules over", "kingdoms to serve the Lord", "kingdom of God", "God and his kingdom", "king of heaven", "the Lord their God and David", "the kingdom shall be for the Lord", "king upon all the earth", "David and his kingdom", "the Lord will reign from Zion", "your God will reign", "and a king will reign", "I will raise up David their king", "will make another kingdom", "the God of heaven holds authority among the dominion", "the kingdoms of heaven", "king of the heavens", "kingdom from God", "King over the heavens", "kingdom of our God"

I'm amazed at how Logos can handle such a thread but it's a rather long process to compose such a string. I'd prefer to just be able to go through a search result an either delete unwanted hits or select those I do want.

I would save your original result as a passage list and delete the ones which are not of interest. Then you can even search the passage list to find specific points within the passages you have hand curated.

What about using a passage list intersection to find verses that occur in both results?

it's a rather long process to compose such a string

Have you tried searching by word sense(s) instead of trying to generate all possible literal search strings?

Thank you for the link to 'passage list'. This is a resource I will begin to make much more use of. I didn't try word sense as I was looking for exact words. But it might be something I try as a catch all later.
