Choice of Resources when Searching

Can anyone explain the choice and order of resources in the selection of what to search (see below)?

The
first and second section are obvious, but the third section is full of
resources I have never used (with a few exceptions). It seems there
should be a third (or even second) section with a "Mytags" drop down, a
"Collections" dropdown and a "ratings" dropdown. As it is now, they are
mixed in with the mess below, when in reality I will generally want to
search by collection/tag or open resources or maybe even resources I
have prioritized, not some random resource I don't have open and may
have never used.

Action Step from the thoughts above:

It
is fine to list the random resources at the bottom, but the
collections, tags and rank should be in their own section at the top
and prioritized or favorite resources should show at the top of the
random list below.

Note: I was playing with collections, not setting real ones which is why I have the random collection names.

    The third section would appear to be collections, although I don't like the idea of commentary sets appearing with my defined collections. Where did you define the tags? Make this thread a definite suggestion.

    I guess, they are all multi-volume sets. I hadn't noticed that (perhaps since I have never used many of them). I agree, I don't want my collections mixed with the random defaults. I want to be able to find my collections & tags quickly.

    Where did you define the tags?

    In the Library, click the (i) information button. You will see book information about resources you click on, including a link to "add tag". (Note: Click on the same row as teh book title, but don't click the picture or the name, otherwise you will open the resource.)

    Must be time related and/or relevance.  I have a Lib command showing that does not appear in a Search menu, but I see rating:1, rating:2 in my Bible Search menu - maybe as fillers to make up the minimum number of entries!

    SUGGESTION

    In the third section of Search menus, rank as follows:

    1. my defined collections

    2. Prioritised multi-volume commentaries only

    I do not want metadata collections like rating:1 as I can type them in the Find box!

    Thanks,
