I posted a suggestion for providing better help for searching using datatypes and extensions in the suggestions section of the forum. However, I am posting here to complain a bit about how difficult it has become using the search box for searching datasets and extensions. There are some videos that show how to combine these searches which make things look easy, but memorizing the search formulas for the various datasets is impossible. Do I put an = sign; <> or {} or {<>} or {<=>}; what are the various literary types available regarding Laws or Grammatical constructs... Also there are the searches you get from the right context menu that have different formulas from what the help files use. The documentation and comparison of searches using the Grammatical Construct is a perfect example. There needs to be some consistency in the formulas regarding capitalization, spacing etc.
We need better drop down suggestions specific to these searches. Once a { or a < is typed in the search find box a drop down should offer whether we want Section, Speaker, Literary type, Grammatical Construct etc. Once that is selected then options should be available. How can we truly search literary types without going to help and finding all the types offered with the exact syntax required?
It is time for making these very powerful search tools more accessible to the average user or even once power users that can no longer keep up...
