Is it possible to search for something in your highlighted passages?

    Yes - the general syntax for searching highlights is outlined at https://wiki.logos.com/Search_HELP#Highlighting_Styles 

    And preceding that with "search string WITHIN" will give you what you want

    Wow, Graham, that's powerful. I was actually looking for all highlighted text in a book, which the help also gave me the solution for: {Highlight StyleName} and apply that search to a certain book.

    Would it be too much for Logos to also save or export the full quotes that I have highlighted in a certain resource, producing a kind of 'summary' of the resource? (as we can do with 'Save as a Passage List'). If I choose 'print' or 'export' I only get the result shown below. Look in particular the second hit, that doesn't give me the full quote.

    The Results are a summary, so you won't get the full quote. I would suggest  'Save as a Passage List' as the best way to save results. You can then use the List to filter the resource via its Visual filters icon. OR you can run the search Inline (in the resource) to see the actual, full highlighting.
