Hey all, 

I know how to search specific resources in my library - is there a way to search a specific article in a specific resource? 

Thanks

    I assume you mean that you know the article you want to search. If that is the case scroll to that article and use ctrl+F to bring up a search box inside the resource. Type the search term and use the up and down arrows to scroll through the article. Keep in mind that this search will identify your search term in the entire resource, however it will start where ever you are in that resource.

    Is there any way to search only the article and not the entire resource.  When I'm in a lexicon, I would like to search only that entry and not the entire resource.  Is this possible?

    AFAIK not directly. While bible search has this feature, basic search can't detect e.g. entries in a lexicon. A workaround would be to mark up the entry with a highlight (preferably one you don't use for actual markup in lexicons) and then search only inside that highlight - this works like a charm.

    This is something that can be accomplished for any resource that provides either reference or headword milestones. Lexicons have headword milestones, and therefore you could accomplish this using a search like:

    plants WITHIN {Headword ἄνθρωπος}

    I understand headwords, but would you provide an example for a reference milestone in this context?

    A commentary is an easy example:

    gold WITHIN {Milestone <1 Peter 1>}

    Or within a lexicon that uses Louw-Nida:

    Jesus WITHIN {Milestone <LouwNida = LN 33.100>}

    It works! Thank you Andrew! And, I'm a big fan of LN that added example really comes in handy.
