Search that compares two different resources
Hello, can someone tell me how to do the following search?: I want to see all the verses where Christ appears in the TR and not in the NA28.

I assume you mean where the Greek word christos appears.
If so I would do a separate search in each Bible
Then create a Passage List from each set of search results and Merge them. It's worth playing with different merge options to see which gives you the information you want.
There are some details on Passage Lists - including merging them - at https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016747311-Passage-List
Does this give you what you need?

If you do the search as Graham shows, but instead of searching on only one translation at a time you do a search that includes both translations, you can get a result that includes both translations. Having the search with both translations simultaneously gives you the option to show the results in grid view from which it is relatively easy to spot the places where they differ. Below is the search that I did with the same two sources. I made sure that they were the only Bibles open at the time so that I could select "All Open Bibles", which simplifies the source selection.

Thank you both for your suggestions. I will try these. At least it seams that there is no direct search syntax with which one is able to compare different resources.

Thanks JBR
I think this is much better than my suggestion.

True - but JBR's suggestion provides a very nice visual way of locating differences.

but I included both in the tip of the day ...

While the suggestion I offered had some visual appeal that kept the full list while making the differences noticeable, I discovered something else just a few hours later. I was watching the replay of the MP Seminars webinar that had aired on August 15, 2023. I had been unable to watch it live and so was watching the replay. Interestingly this webinar was on The Power of Passage Lists.
Graham, kudos to you for suggesting the Merge feature. If only I had been more willing to see what you might have meant rather than making an assumption and moving on.
In the webinar the presenter pointed out the Merge feature with Passage Lists. What I had assumed when I read Graham's post was that a merge simply combined the two lists. What I saw in the webinar and what the screenshot below tries to illustrate is that Merge is much more sophisticated. Yes, you can get the union. (my assumption) But, you can also get the intersection as well as the differences (from either perspective depending on which of the two passage lists you start with) and the symmetric differences. That's quite powerful!

In this case, the "symmetric differences" option of the merge function in passage lists would help ... see my earlier reply to Dirk's same topic question in the German forum section => https://community.logos.com/forums/t/217837.aspx
