L/V 10+ Tip of the Day #346 Longacre genre - datatype and label

Another tip of the day (TOTD) series fo r 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: RESOLVED Bug: When generating a Longacre search, secondary characteristics are not included as they do not appear in the context menu - Logos Forums

So when I run a search for this, I get all results for story without being filtered by those that are hortatory in nature

You have to  expand Labels, above the Section search you found:

I would have expected a search string something like:

label:(primary:longacreGenre:"Narrative: Story" AND secondary:longacreGenre:"Behavioral: Hortatory")

That should be  label:(longacreGenre AND primary:longacreGenre:"Narrative: Story" AND secondary:longacreGenre:"Behavioral: Hortatory")

The context menu gives: label.longacreGenre:(primary:longacreGenre:"Narrative: Story" AND secondary:longacreGenre:"Behavioral: Hortatory")

which needs the label. modifier to avoid conflict with the Section search.
