Syntax Search AdvancedSearch PaneThe left pane of the Syntax Search document is used to create an outline diagram that represents the grammatical structures you wish to find. Queries are created by adding and configuring “terms” that represent grammatical features. These include Sentence, Clause, Phrase, Word, Segment, and other terms, depending on the syntax database being searched against. (Note: Not all databases will support all types of grammatical constructions.)• Each search term in the search pane represents a single grammatical construction. The form of the query

will exactly match all occurrences of the same forms within the syntax database. For example, adding a clause term will find all of the clauses within the database. Adding a phrase beneath that “clause” will match all phrases that are within a clause.

• The order of terms is significant. That means that a subject term placed directly before an object term in the query will match only those instances in the database where an object construction immediately follows the subject. It will not match subject first and then object.

• Hovering over a term in the search pane will display plus (+) signs on all four sides. Click on a (+) to add a new search term.• Click the left (+) to add a “parent” term.• Click the right (+) to add a “child” term.• Click the down (+) to add a sibling term that is at the same level and has the same parent as the term

above it.• Click the up (+) to add a sibling term that is at the same level and has the same parent as the term

below it.• Click on a term and drag it to one of the plus signs of another term to make it a child or sibling of that

term. (Drop the term when the cursor changes to an arrow with an outlined box underneath and the plus sign turns dark blue).

Specifics Pane• The right pane of the Syntax Search window specifies the options for the currently selected search term.

To edit the specifics for a term, click on it in the left pane.• Options are grouped within the Specifics pane under headings within grey bars. To show a group of

specifics, click the gray bar for that group. To hide the group, click the gray bar again.See also Syntax Search Panel.

Syntax Search DocumentDesign the structure of a Syntax Search and save it for future queries.1. Click on File | New | Syntax Search, or click on New Syntax Search from the Syntax Search panel.2. Click on “Untitled Syntax Search” or the pencil next to it to type a unique document name.3. Click on All Passages to choose a different range to search, if desired.4. Click on the current ‘Search in’ resource to choose another Greek or Hebrew text, if desired.

The left-hand pane of the Syntax Search document is used to create a diagram or tree that represents the grammatical structures to search. This tree consists of search terms and the relationships between terms, and is read from left to right, top to bottom.1. Click on the (+) next to “Add search terms here” to begin adding terms.2. Select a term to open the Specifics pane on the right.3. Right click on a term to bring up additional options.Available search terms depend on the syntax database used by the selected resource. Terms on the left are specific to the database, and those on the right are common to all databases:• Anything matches any portion of the parent term;• Gap allows searching within the “gaps” that occur in non-continuous constructions;• Group allows terms to be grouped together for algebraic purposes (as parentheses in a string Boolean

query);• Unordered Group allows child terms to be matched in any order;• OR provides for the specification of match alternates (e.g., “phrase OR clause”).For more Help on creating a Syntax Search document, go to Syntax Search Advanced.

filter.5. Click on the panel menu if you want to select either Match case or Match all word forms.6. Click into the Find box and type your query.7. Click into the Formatting box to choose a highlighter from the drop-down list. (You can also tab to that

field and press the down arrow key to scroll through the list of highlighters.)8. New rows will be added after each entry, allowing you to add more queries and filters to the document.

The changes will be saved automatically, and if one of the resources included in the rules of your Visual Filter document is open, the formatting you selected will be visible immediately.

Automatic Resource UpdatesResource updates are automatically detected by Logos 4.• With Logos 4 open and Automatically Download Updates and Use Internet both enabled in settings,

resources will be downloaded to your computer when one of the following occurs:1. An update to a resource already in your library is available.2. A resource you own is missing from your library.3. New resources have been purchased and unlocked.

• After a resource download, you may see a prompt to install Updates. Click in that tooltip to begin the update. If you do not see the tooltip, but do see the small, blue Logos icon on the right side of the Windows taskbar, right click on the icon and click on Install Updates or Restart Logos 4.

Automatic UpdatesSoftware updates are automatically detected by Logos 4.• With Logos 4 open and Automatically Download Updates and Use Internet both enabled in settings,

updates to the software will automatically be downloaded to your computer.• After the download, you may see a prompt to install Updates. Click in that tooltip to begin the update. If

you do not see the tooltip, but do see the small, blue Logos icon on the right side of the Windows taskbar, right click on the icon and click on Install Updates.

• The program will automatically close and reopen during the update process.

IndexingThe Logos 4 Indexer makes possible far-reaching and quick searches of your entire library.Some important information about indexing:• It builds one index to be searched instead of searching one-by-one through each book in your library.• It is essential to finding all that you can in every resource in your library.• It enables searches to finish much faster than in Logos 3.• It allows search results to show you the top hits ranked by number and relevance.• When new books are added to your library, the index will be rebuilt to know the position of every word

in that resource.• The indexing process can take a very long time, but the upshot is fast and comprehensive searching.Indexing Tips:• Allow indexing to complete the first time without pausing or restarting the program. Once the index is

built, you will be able to search your library.

• Hover over the small, blue Logos icon on the right side of the Windows taskbar to check the indexer status; right click to pause or resume indexing.

• Once the initial index is built, when you purchase and download new books, you can work in Logos as usual as it indexes.

See also Supplemental Index, Basic Search Panel, Bible Search Panel, Morph Search Panel, and Syntax Search Panel.

Supplemental IndexA Supplemental Index is built when a small number of new resources are added to the library, or if existing resources are updated.• Most search operations will search both the main and supplemental indexes and combine the results

automatically.• The exception is searching the entire library by rank/relevance. Due to the way this search runs, the

results cannot be merged together. Search results will include the “Library Results” section, which queries the old index, and the “New Resources” section, from the supplemental index. (See image below.)

• There will be a slight performance degradation from having a supplemental index, since both indexes will need to be searched.

• An option to merge the supplemental index into the main index by clicking the Merge indexes now link under “New Resources” will cause the supplemental index to be merged with the main index, which may take several hours.

• If the supplemental index reaches about 5% of the size of the main index, supplemental index will automatically be merged with the main index.

• If many new resources are added at once (about 25% of the total or more), a full index will be built rather than a supplemental index.
