Topic Search possible?

Richard Lyall · September 2009

How can I do a topic search without having to invoke a Passage Guide first?

I have created my own custom guide with just "Topics" but I have to enter a Bible reference.

Ah ... this has come up before, unsurprisingly. The best way I';ve found so far is

1. Conduct a Basic search
2. Order the Library Results by
"Ranked" and this seems to bring most of the dictionary articles, for
example, to the top of the list.

Topic searches, as I understand it, are still a work in progress. However Topic search results are combined with Basic search results. Do a search for "Peter" and you will see the topic search section at the top of the list. you won't get any results, but You'll get an idea what it will look like.

I don't see a Topic section in B3. But we should see the fruit of indexing by Headwords in many dictionary resources (look in Information). The results will be more explicit than v3 where a topic may not be addressed directly via headwords or even mentioned explicitly eg. an article/headword on "Faith" might be associated with "justification".
