Bug: Searching a specific Collection

Is there a way to get all of my collections listed when doing a basic search in the mobile app?

Some of them are there, but one I have called "core dictionaries" is not and I see no way to access it. I am not sure why it does not show up but other collections I have made like "core commentaries" do.

I have never had a good grasp on collections & the mobile apps. It seems to me that not all collections end up syncing. Can you show us how that collection was built?

The collections that show up in the mobile app seem somewhat random. Some that are rule based show up and some don't. Some that are manually created show and others don't.

It's really strange.

Yes, but what rules? It may be certain rules don’t sync to mobile.

The way mobile search works, I wouldn't think that collection rules need to sync to mobile. Only collection names (i.e. the existence of a collection). It's the Logos "cloud" back-end that would need to know the collection rules at the time it performs the search.

Not that I know of, but I wish I could do that with mine.

I probably didn’t phrase that right. When trying to help another user recently, it seemed to me that SOME collections would sync to mobile and some would not. At the time, it seemed that the kind of rules used eliminated some but not others. In this thread I am trying to build upon that testing. If I am right, some rules may not work on mobile. I do understand that all of this is done “in the cloud” and the rules never reside on mobile.

Just a brief reply for the moment. I was trying to find some commonality between collections that showed up on mobile and what did not. Two of my collections are both completely manual. That is, there is not a rule, just resources I specfically added to the collections.

One shows up in the mobile app, the other doesn't. Go figure.

I tried running a seach on the desktop app against both of them and then looking for them on the mobile app thinking maybe that might trigger something, but nothing changed.

So even the most basic collections I have don't seem to have any differences that I can find at this point as to what triggers them being availible on the mobile app.

I couldn't make sense of including my Apologetics and Maps collections in both Basic and Bible Search when online. They disappear when offline.

I could tell Apologetics is sync'd because I changed the name on Desktop, but not amused that the results come from random resources i.e. not in my collection.

Now there's a BUG!

How do we make this a feature request?

The power of Logos is ability to search. I'm tired of flipping through countless pages of useless hits because I cannot access the collections that have been so painstakingly created...
