Most products get better with time but this one seems to get worse! I've used logos for many years now but get less functionality with each new level. Very disappointed.
Hi Gary - and welcome to the forums
Please provide more details about what is not working in which guides for you.

Topic Guide returns nothing when doing a search.
In sermon starter "illustrations" responses are limited to one resource instead of all the resources that came with my sermon illustration pack.
Probably not related, by Topic Guide does seem a bit squirrel-y lately. When I was comparing AYB and NIBD, I had a limited number of resources on the resurrection. Once I got rid of NIBD, now it sees mucho. Including many I don't have (which I assume are Logos' new silent advertising).
But, on the current issue, I wonder if indexing was complete or not?
What was the content of the search? Tried a couple of searches, and all returned results.
What version of Logos? What OS?
Did you select one of the suggested topics in the drop-down list? It works off a curated list of topics.
In sermon starter "illustrations" responses are limited to one resource
The illustrations section is in the Topic Guide while Preaching Resources is in the Sermon Starter Guide. The results in the Illustration section do seem limited to a single resource. Off the top of my head I don't recall which sections are curated by Logos.

Topic Guide requires data sets that are only in Logos 5 base packages (or the minimal crossgrade).
The Illustrations section should pull from across your library. It would be helpful to see a screenshot of the Passage Guide showing the limited results, and of the resources you think it should be showing. (There may be some missing metadata we can fix to add those resources to the guide.)
Passage Guide/ Sermon Starter Passage appears to work:
Topic Guide / Sermon Starter Topic does not appear to work as the Topic Guide only shows 1 resource - the same single resource no matter what topic I enter.
Topic Guide / Sermon Starter Topic does not appear to work as the Topic Guide only shows 1 resource -
Found two more Illustration resources:

Bradley, by working backwards from the resource to the topic, I've shown that this does seem to be working. I still need to verify why some topics appear to have few entries when searched for Illustrations in the Topic Guide in comparison to the closer to expected results when searched for Preaching Resources in the Sermon Starter Guide.
