How to span morphological visual filter across multiple morph. system types?

Jeremiah

I have a visual filter applied to Hebrew bibles.

I want this filter to be available for any of the Hebrew bible versions I use, i.e. Westminster, Lexham, etc.

When I create the filter I don't know how to wildcard the morph. style to include any Hebrew morph.

So I end up having to choose the specific database (table?) I want the filter to apply to.

Of course I could just create several filters but I'd rather be more elegant than that (and learn).

Here is a screen shot in case you didn't get my wordy description.

Thanks in advance for any help folks.

When I create the filter I don't know how to wildcard the morph. style to include any Hebrew morph.

Lemmas in the format shown (lemma:שָׁמַ֫יִם) do not specify any Morphology, so you might get results in a couple of Hebrew bibles, but it won't be highlighted in others because their lemma is different, or they don't have the morphology specified in the Filter.

That's the way to go, and make sure the lemma is correct for the morphology.

The morphology is inferred from the "with Westminster Hebrew Morph" selection in the command sentence at the top of the VF. You will only get results in Hebrew Bibles tagged with that morphology (and not from any other Bibles even if the lemma "looks" the same).

Logos doesn't support creating a "wildcard" morph search that searches across multiple Hebrew (or Greek or Aramaic) morphologies. You have to create one query per morph, customizing the lemmas (or morph references) for each specific morphology.

Actually, you no longer need to create one query per morphology. Create a new "All Resources" Morph search. When you type "@", a menu will pop up. At the top is a combobox to let you select the morphology. Then specify the desired search criteria and hit enter. Then add a comma to the search and specify the criteria using the next morphology. When you are done, save the search as a Visual Filter using the panel menu. This will indicate that it's for a specific morphology, but the search will still give the results for each specific morphology:

(([field bible, content] <LogosMorphGr ~ V???????>), ([field bible, content] <LogosMorphHeb ~ V????????>))
