The problem is, in looking for references to Matthew 28:19 I tried to search for
"Mt 28:19" and "Mt 28" and "Mt" and the only one of the three that returned
anything was the last one - which naturally gave me way too many hits.
When I tried searching for "28" it gave me lots of "28"s - but NONE of them were
verse references.
Maybe I'm doing the search wrong. ;^(
I'll probably figure it out eventually along the lines of what you're suggesting and
then feel foolish for asking you guys and Logos this question. :)
(I'm still learning to use this software.)

capabilities. You can search BDF and enter **bible="john 3.16"** (without
the asterisks) to search for all the references to John 3:16 in that book.
That's just my guess, since I don't actually have BDF either in print or
electronically. They also didn't include the index volume (9) in the Ancient
Christian Fathers set for that reason.

Subject: [B-Greek] BDF omission in Logos/Libronix?
I bought a copy of Logos Libronix Blass-Debrunner-Funk (BDF) A GREEK GRAMMAR
OF THE NT AND OTHER EARLY CHRISTIAN LITERATURE at the Morris Proctor Camp
Logos in August, and installed it, and was told by Logos staff that I have
the latest version.
Today while using it I noticed that my "book" lacks the Reference Index
section for NT references. Under "III. Index of References" (the last entry
in the Table of Contents), it has (2), (3), and (4) for the Apostolic
Fathers, NT Apocrypha, and Pseudo-Clementine Literature indices,
respectively, just like my hardbound copy
- but it does not have (1) New Testament index!! This makes BDF a crippled
piece of software - i.e., I can't jump to specific texts that BDF discusses.
Any idea what's going on here?
