Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10+ Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.

This tip is inspired by the forum post: Search question - Logos Forums

Mary threw the ball.

The ball was thrown by Mary.

In both cases, Mary is the one doing the action. So the grammatical subject does not answer the question "who threw the ball". One has to use semantics roles for this e.g. agent:Mary.

So for the question:

How do I do a search showing every place the Holy Spirit is doing the action?

The answer is

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
