* /subset/ (result wholly included in *value*), or

* /superset/ (result includes the whole *value*).

Note ~ is the defaultreference operator that finds any reference within a *range* of verses in the *same* chapter. For example, <bible Jn 3:16> is the same as <bible ~Jn 3:16> thatfinds /John 3:16/ and /John 3:15-17/ but not /John 3/ nor /John 2:24-3:17/. See [[Using Operators >> Detailed Search Help # Using Operators with References]] for more referenceexamples and detailed explanation.

Familiar datatypes are handled automatically, so <Jn 3.16> or <~Jn 3:16> are thesame as <bible Jn 3:16> alongwithStrongnumbersearches<G5547> beingthesame as <GreekStrongs = G5547>and<H6213>beingthesameas<HebrewStrongs=H6213>

Familiar datatypes are handled automatically, so <Jn 3.16> or <~Jn 3:16> are recognised as <bible ~Jn 3:16>,whilst<G5547> isrecognised as <GreekStrongs = G5547>.

Strong's number ranges can be specified as <G875-878>, <H769-771>

Louw-Nida numbers & ranges can be specified as <LN 57.125>, <ln 57.125-57.129> or <ln 57.125-129>

!!! 9. Language Match Commands

[[Match commands >> Search Matching Commands]] can be used to refine matches for words in different languages e.g. [match dagesh] hebrew:מֶֽלֶךְ, [match accents] hebrew:מֶֽלֶךְ. Commands can be combined by separating with a comma e.g. *[match dagesh, accents] hebrew:מֶֽלֶךְ* will be sensitive to vowels *and* accents.

!! Morph Search

Used for morphologically tagged resources, usually bibles.

…

 

You can also search for manuscript words, individually or as a phrase (#7). Also see *Basic Search* below.

 

\\

!! Bible Search

A convenient way to search for /biblical/ text in bibles, and for data that is associated with it e.g. glosses, Words of Christ. \\ You can also perform morphological searches but get the format by using *Morph Search* as above and then select *Bible Search* e.g. lemma:λόγος@N will then appear as \\<lemma = lbs/el/λόγος> ANDEQUALS <lbs-morph+el ~ N????>, where lbs=Logos Morph and el=Greek.

You can use operators and lists #1 to #9, but using a subset of #1 that applies to bibles e.g. Louw-Nida and Strong's numbers. Note that you won't find bible references!

!! Advanced Searching

The capabilities of the Logos 4/5 search engine have been extended with *search* types that enable powerful searches for rich new categories of biblical data. Many of these features require a current /Feature Set/, whilst some require a subscription e.g. Faithlife Connect.

!!! New Datatypes

Most datatypes are [[straightforward and familiar >> # 1. References]] and they can be referenced in the text, but many of the new ones classify *words* or *sections* of the text in much the same way that you would e.g. <Person>, <Place>, <PreachingTheme>, <Event>. But the /values/ they have are not as abbreviated, nor as predictable, as <Bible> or <GreekStrongs> values.

The necessary information for these datatypes is stored in a *dataset*, and most have been documented.

!!! Datatype Searching

Start with a Reverse Interlinear bible and [[right click a word >> Right Click Menu]]. The right side of the Context menu will show which of [[these datatypes are present >> Right Click Menu # Textual Datatypes]], and the left side will allow you to Search by opening the Search tool with a properly formatted query e.g. {Section <PropositionalOutline = Jesus-Action>}.

Alternatively, type a word in a Search /Find/ box and let the Autocompleter suggest and format the query for you e.g. type 'marriage' and you will see suggestions for the Topic, Preaching Theme, Culture and Sense. Click and run the search. An *Everything* search would be more fruitful as it will usually provide a Factbook article with further results and links to Guides. If you want to restrict the suggestions then type, for example, '<PreachingTheme marriage' or '<Event Moses'.

In resources like the Early Church Fathers you can get the reference and its datatype after choosing *Reference* from the context menu e.g. <JustinMartyr = Justin Martyr, Dialogue with Trypho 8>, and that will give results from other resources in your library.

!!! Search Extensions

The *{extension}* syntax effectively provides new search types/plugins to the Search engine which can be used within the existing Basic, Bible & Morph searches, depending how you want the results formatted i.e. by verse or by article. Many are associated with data types, but not all e.g. {Highlight} is a search to find the highlighting styles in your resource(s).

One way to view this syntax is to regard a <datatype> search as a specific {extension} e.g. {Reference <bible Jn 3:16>} could be looking for /references/ to Jn 3:16 in any resource, whereas {Milestone <bible Jn 3:16>} will return the /text/ of Jn 3:16 from a bible (or commentary). Note that you won't find <bible> /milestones/ in a bible dictionary or encyclopedia!

*Note* the [[Search Field  >> # 8. Fields]] (and highlighting) drop-down menu doesn't apply to search extensions.
