* *Examples*:

* In the /Find/ box enter *dictionary*

* *dictionary* \\ 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 they have data /somewhere/ that is 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). \\ \\ Try clicking on different /columns/ in the /Heading/ row and notice how Logos rearranges your list. \\ \\

 * You can use partial words and/or wildcards as a convenience, or when your quoted words are not found. For example:

   * *title:matt title:henry*

* *title:~"matthew henry~*~"*

* *title:~"matthew henry~*~"*\\\\

* *Examples*: \\   [Resource count will vary depending on the content of your Library]

 * *title:~"holman bible~"* \\ In the Library window, you will see only the books with *Holman Bible* in the title. \\ *Holman Concise Bible Commentary* will be not be included, because /Concise/ splits the words in our search term.

 * *title:holman title:bible* \\ This will include *Holman Concise Bible Commentary*, because both words are in the title.

 * *publisher:nelson title:king* \\ Adding *title:king* restricts the books published by Thomas Nelson to those with *king* in the Title (full and partial words).

 * *pubdate:>=2010* \\ This will find all resources published in 2010 or after.

* *addeddate:<Oct 2018>* \\ This will find all resources that were /added/ to your machine in October, 2018 \\ This is distinct from *updateddate:<Oct 2018>*, as these resources may have been added to your machine in October /or earlier/.

* *addeddate:<Oct 2018>* \\ This will find all resources that were /added/ to your machine in October, 2018 \\ This is distinct from *updateddate:<Oct 2018>*, as these resources may have been added to your machine in October /or earlier/.\\\\

#. *When using syntax {Search Field}*

 * This syntax is primarily intended for use in [[Collections >> Collections # Filterable fields]] (not Library), because it is much more efficient.

 * Each search term must be enclosed in double /straight/ quotes and the term must be an *exact match* (including punctuation) for the desired value. \\ You can copy some values from /Resource Information/.

 * If a term contains double /straight/ quotes, they must be /escaped/ with extra double quotes e.g. ~"Definitive~" ==> ~"~"Definitive~"~"

* Wildcards are not supported.

* Wildcards are not supported.\\\\

 * *Examples:*

   * *{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/.

…

* Negation (exclusion of results) works with ANDNOT, or use the /minus/ sign directly in front of the search expression.

* Parentheses ( ) is often necessary if you are *mixing* operators in your search expression.

* in this case, do not use characters for operators.

* in this case, do not use characters for operators.\\\\

\\

* *Examples*

* *Barnes OR Roberts* or *Barnes, Roberts*

 * this will find books authored by Barnes /or/ Roberts; but

 * *author:barnes, author:"roberts"* is more precise, and eliminates "Robertson" as an author; however,

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

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

* *type:bible-commentary ANDNOT author:Barnes* or *type:bible-commentary -author:Barnes* \\

* To exclude all Barnes' resources from your Library, use *~* -author:Barnes*\\\\

* To exclude all Barnes' resources from your Library, use *~* -author:Barnes*

* *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.
