Suggestion: Search dialogue box

I'd like to suggest that the option to open the seach dialogue box with the selection already copied to the box be made available from the right click menu as shown in the diagram. The same could be true whether it be a word, reference or moph.. It will give us an easier option to add other search parameters and to narrow/widen or make specific resources we wish searched.

I think that is redundant/unnecessary given all the other Search options because you can easily alter their parameters when the search is complete (after a second or two!). The other factor is further increasing the amount of scrolling needed to get to a reference lookup.

You don't even need to wait until the search is complete. Just alter the parameters and it will interrupt the search and start a new one. So essentially, picking any of the existing Search commands on the menu will do what you want. Just change the "search in" parameter to whatever you want, and tweak other parameters as needed.

And I agree. That menu is cluttered enough as it is. Not a great idea to add more commands unless they are highly strategic.
