Dear Logos - What were you thinking I might want to do?
Okay, I can see why I might sometime want to consider altars as a cultural concept and the contextual elements of it. I can see why I might want to look at offerings/sacrifice as a topic or preaching them and all the ritual associated with it. But most of the time I look up altar, I am interest in the THING - an altar. But can I see that in Factbook? Nope I get sections like this:
Of the senses, the the broadest context I can image I can only make 3 interesting - at most 378 entries out of 5,248 or 7.2% are worth looking at ... So why would I want to make a Passage List of them? I realize that this is the results of the merging Factbook entries into a single entry and the autogeneration of the list of senses. But for the life of me, I can't figure out how you expect me to use this information deluge.
Then I am confronted with some potentially useful information about altars ... in a drop down menu, no less:
You know what? If Factbook listed the specific altars mentioned in the Bible ... or event and laws related to altars, I have some useful information. I'm teased by an incomplete list in See Also
So you clearly have some knowledge of what I would find useful ... but what am I supposed to do with God, tribe, day other than be annoyed that they make Save as Passage Guide useless? And yes, I am serious - I can give a tip on something I can't figure out what you expect it to do ...

I'm unable to speak to most of your post, but did you know that you can do a Factbook search to find all the terms that you see in the dropdown in Factbook (and potentially even more terms, since the auto-complete results are truncated at a certain number)?
Also, if you are only interested in some of the senses provided in the list in Factbook, you can expand that sense and use the "Save as Passage List" link inside to only save passage from that sense.

Thankyou Andrew - those are both useful bits of information.
