Library Search Inconsistent Across Apps

I did a search for resources in my library with the search term "biblical theology" on the Logos desktop app, the web app, and the iOS and Android mobile apps. In my desktop app, I get 883 resources. In the web app, I get 448 resources. In the iOS mobile app, I get 881. In the Android mobile app, I get 70. Why such disparity in returns of the same search across all apps? What can I do to achieve parity in search results?

I doubt that it is possible. As you know you can't get some of your resources on Mobile, and that may limit the count (assuming you are online).

What results do you get with title:"biblical theology"?

64 resources in desktop, web and iOS apps

But I wouldn't get the exact same number in the web and iOS apps if the desktop app pulled in personal books.

Edit: Maybe the better question is why are the counts between the iOS and Android apps off in both searches?

You can exclude PB's on Desktop with title:"biblical theology" -edition:user

My Android count for title:"biblical theology" is 3 versus Desktop's 12, but title:biblical theology returns the 12 (go figure!). I think iOS version is superior/more consistent than the Android.
