* Clicking a column header will either sort or /group/ the content. \\ A further click will reverse the sort order (/groups/ included), as indicated by the small arrow in the column header. \\ If content is grouped, another click will collapse the group.

* You can sort on multiple columns:

* /click/ a header

* clickon a columnheader

* /shift-click/ another header to create an additional level of sorted content

* /shift-click/ again to change the sort order.

#. Under some /Columns/ you might find this double hyphened symbol. It represents resources that were not associated with any of the fields in that /Column/. If you click on it, it will expand to show you those resources. This is useful when you are filtering with the /My Tags/ column, it lets you see resource which you have not tagged.

* First, it is advisable to be in /Details/ view and sort your Library by *Title*. Whilst filtering is not affected by view or sorting (nor by hidden columns) it is best to have all your columns visible. \\

* When not using /Search/fields (below), Logos looks for your text in the Title, Subject and *all* other fields. This method can be quicker than using /Search/ fieldsbut you will have to manually scan the columns to understand the results.

* When not using /SearchFields/ (below), Logos looks for your text in the Title, Subject and *all* other fields. This method can be quicker than using /SearchFields/ but you will have to manually scan the columns to understand the results.

* Logos finds results even if the search text is just a part of an actual word.

 * for an exact match put a single word into quotation marks e.g. *“sin”* versus *sin*; where the latter will match /sinner/, /single/ ...

* You may search for strings (words in "quotation marks") to get better results.

* The wildcard *~** stands for any number of characters (including zero)

* Just searching for *~** will list your whole library, which is helpful in constructing "All but..." exclusion-searches.

* The wildcard *?* stands for zero or one character

* Using parentheses ( ) gives you control over how Logos understands your search text.

 

 

* *Examples*:

* In the /Find/ enter *dictionary* \\ \\ [[{{$ http://wiki.logos.com/media/Library3c3.png?maxwidth=600 }} >> http://wiki.logos.com/media/Library3c3.png]] \\ \\

* In the /Find/box enter *dictionary* \\ \\ [[{{$ http://wiki.logos.com/media/Library3c3.png?maxwidth=600 }} >> http://wiki.logos.com/media/Library3c3.png]] \\ \\

 #. Notice the number in the right side of the /Find/ box. This is the number of resources that Logos found matching *dictionary*.

 #. Now look at the list of resources in the Library window. You should see several resources with "dictionary" in their /Title/. But you will also see other resources which you would not consider as dictionaries because Logos has them marked /somewhere/ that they may be related to a dictionary. In the next section you will learn how to use /Search/ fields to limit your text to a specific field (column).

* *Examples:*

   * In the /Find/ box enter *{Series ~"Barnes’ Notes on the Old and New Testaments~", ~"Wiersbe’s “Be” Series~"}*

     * It is best to copy these *Series* values.

     * *Barnes* has a closing /curly/ single quote

* *Be* has /curly/ quotes, so it doesn't need to be /escaped/. \\Itisbesttocopythesevalues.\\\\

* *Be* has /curly/ quotes, so it doesn't need to be /escaped/. \\ \\

   * In the /Find/ box enter *{Author ~"Barnes, Albert~"}*

     * it has to be the value you see in the *Author* column

     *  *~"Barnes Albert~"* will not work  

 

…

 * *author:(barnes, "roberts")* is more concise. \\ \\

* In the /Find/ box enter  *type:bible-commentary ANDNOT author:Barnes* or *type:bible-commentary -author:Barnes* \\

* Ifyouwantto exclude all Barnes' resources, use *~* -author:Barnes* \\ \\

* To exclude all Barnes' resourcesfromyourLibrary, use *~* -author:Barnes* \\ \\

* In the /Find/ box enter *mytag:didache lang:greek* or *mytag:didache AND lang:greek* \\

 * The tag "Didache" can be applied to many "Apostolic Fathers" resources e.g. Lightfoot's, Lake's, ANF7.
