Inline Search Helps When Memory Fades

During a recent study, I wanted to go to the verse where the biblical writer admonishes the lazy person to observe the actions of the ant. For the life of me, however, I could not remember where the verse was located.

I also didn’t want to interrupt the flow of my study to build an elaborate search so I turned to the Logos 6 feature called Inline Searching. Here’s how I leveraged the tool to quickly locate a verse:

  • Open any Bible such as the ESV (A)
  • Click the Inline Search icon on the Bible’s toolbar (B)

  • Make sure to set the:
    • Search type to Bible (C)
    • Verse range to All Passages (D)
  • Type this query in the Find box: ant sluggard (which locates all verses in the selected Bible containing both words ant AND sluggard) (E)
  • Press the Enter key to generate the search results
  • Notice all verses not containing both words are removed from the display leaving only Proverbs 6:6  (in the ESV) (F)
  • Click the Inline Search icon again to return the Bible to normal view (G)

I don’t know about you, but with all the power of Logos at my fingertips, I sometimes forget the simple solutions to some everyday tasks. This Inline Search turns any Bible into an instant concordance!
