Dear Sir
Logos 3 does not appear to have the abilty to search for multiple phrases in the form you indicate in this article - quotation marks have to be added - which is a pity! And I cannot locat a phrase search dialogue.
Thanks

Brian,

The search works perfectly on my 3.0. Are you sure you did it correctly?

I tried the search to. Each phrase needed quotes. Each phrase was found hilighted in different colors. Great tip. Where have you been all my life Morris.

I was only able to do a phrase search when I enclosed the phrase in quotation marks. It would not work at all without the quotation marks, and that's with version 3.1, I think. I got the Logos version updated at the Bible Study Computer Class at Salt Lake and updated my version 3 then and there. By the way thanks for the training, after all these years of waiting, I finally got some training. It has really been a blessing.

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME USING THIS SEARCH
