The request in it's entirety:
[quote]
Restore the L3 ability to construct a graphical query for searches that cannot be constructed with a line of text.
For those who do not remember the Libronix Graphical Search:
There are a handful of Bible searches requested that are multistep - either searching restricted to a Passage List or generating the results via a logical merge of multiple Passage Lists. These are the only searches I am aware of that cannot be defined on a "single line".
That is not to say that the Search can't be significantly improved especially with (in my personal opinion):
- the ability to mix clausal searches and syntax searches with the basic-Bible-morph searches
- greater auto-completion of search syntax
- disclosure of breadth of various tagged search elements across our library
- visibility of the search options in the panel menu
- . . .
The problem that I have is that I get no where trying to mock up the ideal, simple graphic interface. Therefore I have lost a sense of what the supporters of this request want in the current search environment. I would love to see a rough mockup of what would work in the Logos 6/7 ecosystem. Even better would be competing mockups so that a consensus of what users are requesting could emerge.
