As one of the Logos Bible Software Forum MVP's in the Logos Forums, I frequently have to search the forums to find a comment or response that is particularly pertinent. Unfortunately the Community Server search engine is particularly wimpy when it comes to returning the right results.
Google however provides more than a stopgap solution with site search.
By searching search terms site:community.logos.com

The problem with that approach is that while it works, it requires extra typing (site:community.logos.com) every time you want to perform a search. What I really wanted was a way to search the forums using the search box in Firefox and I found it.

Now I've found it.

As I prepare to return to regular blogging and posting of my messages I'm also trying to catch up on my current sermon series from Luke.
As a start I've whipped up a PowerPoint template along with some graphics. I thought I'd share it here for anyone who was so inclined.

The image itself was actually one of the men in the church I serve laying the foundation for the parsonage, with a few sessions in GIMP I was able to turn a ho hum picture into a functional PowerPoint template.
Enjoy!

Take a read of Mark Kellner's article in the Washington Times today. Library in your pocket is a very cool review of Logos 4.
What really got me thinking is the remarks at the end which reflect a scenario I've been pondering over for some time...

But think, for a moment, beyond the (rather large) "niche" market of people who study the Bible and related resources. Think of doctors, lawyers, accountants or anyone who needs to consult a wide range of texts — some old and some modern — on a continual basis. I would imagine that the Logos Bible Software "engine" could be adapted to these areas and that similar benefits could emerge..

The reality is that the industries listed have hundreds or thousands of their own resources, not religious in nature. Imagine thousands of Medical texts, drug interactions, and special journals / or the hundreds of thousands of legal decisions, congressional documents - hey even the multiple drafts of the health-care reform bill all available on the Logos platform. It has amazing potential for those industries. It also has amazing potential for revenue.

The obvious problem with such a move however is the unintended consequences.
