How to search and exact word

Hi all

I'm looking to search "oró" (this is "to pray" in english, past time) and not "oro" (which is gold in english). I have tried several ways... Can I limit the search by accent?

Thanks again

Hi, Michael:

Here's how I searched:

Find a verse in your Spanish Bible (ie: RVA) that has oró in it.
(The closest I could find on short notice was "oré" in Deuteronomy 9:20.)
Click and drag your mouse to highlight the word.
Press [Ctrl+C] ( or [Cmd+C] in Mac) to copy the text to your clipboard.
Open a search pane (the magnifier on the menu bar)
Press [Ctrl+V] to paste the word into the search field.
If you don't see results, click the blue arrow at the right-hand end of the search field.

If these steps don't get what you needed, please come back and ask again.

oro, 1, pray. DVNT

Not by accent. The closest I got in an English interface was spanish:oro (it produced different results to latin:oro).

Thank you all for your time but it didnt work...

I get: 52 results in the NT (RV60) for "oró". It has "oro" and "oró"

oro: means a noun "gold" or a verb "to pray" (in present tense: Yo oro) this is in spanish

oró: means "to pray" (past tense)

I was looking only for "oró". What about those "term modifiers" in logos 3. Do they still work? In other words, can I limit the search by accents?

Thank you in advance

can I limit the search by accents?

As I said above, No; Logos 4/5 don't have those useful 'modifiers' from Libronix. The Search menu has some options, but Match Case & Match all Word Forms don't come close.

Thank you Dave

That's really sad. I have spent few thousands in a software incapable of doing what it did in previous versions. That's real progress!!!! :-(

:-( :-( :-( :-(

the search worked perfect on Libronix! it found 9 instances only for "oró" I used exact(word)

I would recommend Logos to keep an eye in this issue since its frustrating to have a supposed improved software incapable of doing what it did before

Thank you

I have added a UserVoice item to get Logos's attention on this. Only my 3 votes there so far, but others please vote for it if you care about it:

Thank you Rosie

I thought no one else will be interested on my issue. I went and vote too. I have found many other accented terms. So, now I go back to L3 for exact(word) searches. it's ridiculous!!!!

. it's ridiculous!!!!

Quite agree, but according to Logos' stats (from Libronix) there were only a few users of "advanced" search techniques
