Automatic Resource Updates
Resource 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 Mac toolbar or Windows taskbar, click (right click) on the
icon and click on Install Updates or Restart Logos 4.
• The “Last Updated” column, if enabled in Library, will display the resource update day or date.
See also Library Options.
Automatic Updates
Software 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 Mac toolbar or Windows taskbar, click (right click) on the icon
and click on Install Updates.
• The program will automatically close and reopen during the update process.
Indexing
The 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 Libronix DLS 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 Mac toolbar or Windows taskbar to check the indexer status; click
(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 Index
A 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.
• 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 many new resources are added at once (about 25% of the total or more), a full index will be built rather than a supplemental

Syntax Search Advanced
Search Pane
The 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.

Syntax Search Document
Design 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”).

Importing Libronix DLS Documents
Logos 4 allows certain types of your Libronix DLS 3 documents to be imported. The currently supported documents are:
• Favorites
• Highlighting (was called Visual Markup)
• Notes document
• Passage List document (was called Verse Lists)
• Prayer List document
• Sentence Diagram document
• Syntax Search document
To import all supported Libronix DLS 3 documents into Logos 4, enter Import All into the Command Box.
An Importing status message will appear in the upper-right corner of the main window. You can cancel the import by right-clicking
this message and selecting Cancel.
Important Information
It is highly recommended that you prepare your LDLS3 notes for importing ﬁrst; instructions for doing this are available online.
Imported content “remembers” that it was imported. You can run Import All again (to bring in new documents) without creating
duplicates of the items you’ve already imported.
Any changes to imported content in Logos 4 will clear the link between Logos 4 and LDLS3. Once an item is edited, running Import
All again will re-import the original LDLS3 document; you will see the original item from LDLS3 duplicated with the edited item in
Logos 4.
To remove imported items, enter Import delete All into the command box. This will remove the imported documents from Logos 4
only; it will not change LDLS3.
You can import one type of document at a time by specifying its name in the command box, e.g., Import Favorites or Import Notes.
