!! Search Selected Resources

!! SearchingFiltered/Selected Resources

This is a convenient way to search resources without creating a Collection.

Whilst you can select resources via /Collections/ or /Tags and Ratings/, it is not always convenient/necessary to create Collections and Tags for many searches.

 

!!!! Enter a Collection rule

In the /Search/ box for Resources enter a /rule/ that you would [[use for a Collection >> https://wiki.logos.com/Library__#Search_Fields_that_you_can_use_in_the_Find_box]]. \\ e.g. *~* -type:courseware* will select all /types/ of resources except Courseware.

 

!!!! Select from Library

Select some resources in Library, right click and choose *Search these resources*. Depending on the resources you have selected, it will open either a Bible Search or a Basic Search and allow you to enter a search term.

If you filter Library from the /Sidebar/ or /Find/ box, or sort it via the headings in *Details* view, you will have a list of resources that interest you e.g. sort by *Last Accessed* for resources you recently read/opened.

If you filter Library from the /Sidebar/ or /Find/ box, and/or sort it via the headings in *Details* view, you will have a list of resources that specificallyinterest you e.g. sort by *Last Accessed* for resources you recently read/opened.

The *{extension}* syntax provides new Search terms (or plugins) 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 datatypes, 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 belookingfor/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!
