Vyrso books should be noted in Logos.com searches

There seems to have been a shift recently in what used to be a fairly clear delineation between Vyrso and Logos offerings. Now the line seems to be blurred. I have just recently seen, due to posts in the forums, that the Abingdon Commentaries and A Theological Introduction to the Old Testament by Brueggemann, et al is available in Vyrso, I would not have thought to search for these in Vyrso, because I automatically think of them as "Logos type" books.

I would like to see Vyrso books show up in Logos searches. I don't want them to be in the same results, but maybe they could show up in the bottom or on the side as a suggestion. If I had needed these volumes immediately, I would have probably bought them in Kindle format without thinking to search Vyrso, and I can't be the only person. It seems like it would benefit Logos greatly to have these show up in some way through a Logos search.

I will be more careful from now on and make sure to check Vyrso, but this seems like an obvious suggestion. I also noticed that they are all Abingdon titles, so maybe that has something to do with why they are not in Logos format.

Hi Joseph,

This doesn't solve the issue and I would definitely prefer a Logos solution, but here's a work around. Create a bookmark on your browser toolbar and set the link to the text below. It will display a pop up asking for search term and then search both sites, displaying the results in two windows/tabs depending on how you've set your browser prefs. You can also select text (author name, book title) in a web page before invoking the shortcut and the highlighted text will automatically be filled in as the search term.

javascript:void(q=prompt('Logos/Vyrso Multi-Search:',getSelection()));if(q) { javascript:window.open('http://vyrso.com/products/search?q=' + escape(q) + '&unlocked=no'); void(location.href='http://logos.com/products/search?q=' + escape(q) + '&unlocked=no') }

I would like to see Vyrso books show up in Logos searches.

Great suggestion. The searches could show up in a separate category, "And from Vyrso..."

Logos may choose not to integrate the search in the reverse situation, i.e. a Vyrso search doesn't yield Logos titles.

I think this still fulfills Logos the marketing direction for Vyrso.

And I would say that the commentaries would make very poor Vyrso books.

Very nice. Thanks Randy.

I agree, and I wasn't suggesting that they should be. I was just pointing out that they already are, so it would be nice if they would show up in a Logos search, since people wouldn't normally look for commentaries in Vyrso.

Thank you Randy. Would you know how to encorporate Noet.com and ebook.noet.com searches into this?
