Searching for references in the Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament

I may not understand what you are trying to accomplish, here I did a "Basic" search for that Enoch verse in my collection of Dictionaries, and I got plenty of hits. Is this what you are trying to do?

Most Apocrypha references are considered valid Bible references, but Pseudepigrapha references aren't.  Bible references are automatically recognized by the search engine, but to search for the Pseudepigrapha references, you need to put them in the form <Pseudepigrapha = 1 Enoch 13.7> , like this:

Wow, that was something I had no idea about. It's not documented anywhere in Search help or on the wiki. The only mention I could find of it was in a list of data types in Help, but that doesn't say what to do with these. We need a new section in the wiki on how to use Data Types in help and whare are the shortcuts for them all.

Here's all we have so far, in http://wiki.logos.com/Search_HELP under 1. References:

General format is <datatype Op reference> eg. <bible = Jn 3:16>, <LN ~26.5>
Op can be ~ intersection (default), =, subset, or superset
Note many types are handled automatically, so <~Jn 3:16> or Jn 3:16 are the same and <G5547>, <H6213> are recognized as Strong’s numbers.
Louw-Nida ranges can be specified as <LN57.125-57.129> or <LN57.125-129>

And here's what the Help file says:

Data Type
Simple Definition:  A type of data, a distinct kind or family of information.
Some of the Data Types found in Logos:
• Bible
• Day of Year (for daily devotionals)
• Languages, including English, Greek, Hebrew, Latin, and Spanish
• Greek Strong’s Numbers and Hebrew Strong’s Numbers
• Louw-Nida Semantic Domains
• Nag Hammadi Codices
• Page Number
• Pseudepigrapha
• The Laws of Hammurabi
• Works of Philo

I know the shortcut for Louw-Nida Semantic Domains is LN. But what about all those other things?

And if those are merely "some of the data types found in Logos" is there an exhaustive list somewhere?

I think the easiest way to find the designation of a data-type is to right-click in the type of text you want to search for references to (i.e., Pseudepigrapha, Josephus, TDNT, Philo, etc, etc, blah blah), and see what data-types are listed on the pop-up menu.  Then if you search for that data-type from the menu, you'll see the name along with the canonical format of the data-type reference.

Yowza! That's a lot of work to get a list of all of these. It's more for curiosity, to find out what I could possibly search for. Much of the learning I do in Logos is through serendipity, i.e., not knowing I could find something and then stumbling upon it delightfully, rather than having in mind something I want to search for and figuring out how to search for it.

Update: there are 1652 data-types registered in my library. Here's the list from my log: datatypes.txt

Wow! Now I'm wondering how to get at some of those through the method you gave me above. All the au+ ones look intriguing, for example. I don't have books in my library by all these authors (and they don't exist in Logos's catalog), so I'm wondering how these data types are used.

Don't worry, I'm not expecting you to answer; it just makes me realize how much there is "under the hood" of Logos that I don't understand the first thing about!
