I'm looking specifically for images or sketches of the apostles.
Thanks,
Ron
Check out: http://wiki.logos.com/Basic_Search#How_do_I_search_for_images.3f
Yes.
A Basic Search of entire library for
#image ANDEQUALS apostle
will do it.
If you want another subject then change "apostle" as needed.
Ronald,
yes.
This is the syntax "# image@word" (without the quotes)
For example: #image@jesus will find all of the images that have Jesus as a part of the title.
Interesting...three different people gave three different responses. I tried all three options and got three different results (rather than two as I might have expected):
#image jesus
#image ANDEQUALS jesus
#image@jesus
Rosie,
that's because they are 3 different searches with 3 different results:
#image jesus gets images and jesus references...not what we are looking for.
#image ANDEQUALS jesus gets images where jesus is part of the description but not part of the title necessarily.
only #image@jesus gets images specifically with jesus in the title.

Thanks for that clarification. I'd never seen the @ syntax documented before (except in connection with Morph search, which this is not), and have not used ANDEQUALS before either (the documentation on it is unclear). So I thought maybe @ was supposed to be a synonym for ANDEQUALS. It is in Logos 3:
Thanks everyone for all the help. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Robert, where is the syntax documented?
I also note a difference between #image@jesus (no space) and #image @jesus (with a space)

I noted that difference too, but then I realized the results were the same as for #image jesus (without the @)
I realized the results were the same as for #image jesus
this one is the "Morris Proctor" suggetion.
Dave,
No documentation, just my observation, and I'm frequently wrong!
I noticed that searches that "look legit" are fooling us sometimes (remember the words of Christ searches?) and the results we are getting are really the results of a search called "image AND jesus" rather than "an image titled jesus"
Hmmm. Enough observation that we have more undocumented search operators!
#image ANDEQUALS Jesus seems to produce the right results (Jesus in the title or description of the image).
#image@Jesus seems to return images that are followed immediately by the word 'Jesus'.
The #image search is interesting. Are there other #?????? searches?
What did you have in mind? It may not be solved that way, but an existing operator might do the job!

I can see why Frank might have been asking that even if he had nothing specific in mind. It's always fun to learn about cool little features you hadn't known about and tuck that knowledge away for future reference, even if you have no need for it right now.
But no, I don't know of any other #????? search operators besides #image.

Hm...that's weird, but I thank you for working it out for me....!
This works
Bob, that's not fair. You didn't mention that folk need the 4.0c beta to do this!
But you can do it in 4.0b with title:jesus in a collection of media files (type:media) and maps (type:map)
Thanks
But you can do it in 4.0b with title:jesus in a collection of media files (type:media) and maps (type:map) Dave: How do you create that collection that you just mentioned? Thanks
Two ways of setting up the collection rule for that. Either of these will work (they are synonymous):
type:media OR type:map
type:(media, map)
Thanks Rosie. That worked. The syntax "#image@jesus" still gives too many false hits. I am seeing geographical maps when searching the entire library, and getting 90 hits. When I search the collection created using the "title" field I get 41 results along with several maps from the "Logos Deluxe Map Set". The description field seems to yield the best results. Still some false hits "Mount of the precipitation" from Images of the Holy Land , but the maps have pretty much disappeared.
The syntax "#image@jesus" performed on the entire library, misses many books, in particular "The Bible and its Story". Restrict it to the collections using the description field, and it picks them up.
The first syntax will search dictionaries and find images, so you may need to use both.
I don't think Dave was suggesting you search for that "#image@jesus" syntax in a collection creating using the "title field. He was suggesting that you search in a collection of maps and media (the one I showed you how to create; well it sounds like you don't want to include maps in it, only media) for title:jesus
When I do that, the results include only maps and images and hymns that have Jesus in their title.
Thanks Rosie.

That was what I was suggesting. Just to add to the mystique of the #image 'operator' I found that
description:jesus OR title:jesus
seems to provide the same images in that collection as
(#image ANDEQUALS jesus) OR title:jesus
even though the number of hits is different.
(#image ANDEQUALS jesus)
thanks Dave !
that has greatly improve my image searches for my grandkids Bible study preparation.
thanks all you other folks ! Your input has been enlightening too.
Robert:
In your example How did you come up with the collection Maps and Images?
Sorry. I did look at page 2 of the post. I have my answer.
