Kyle: Why isn't this dictionary indexed by English Headword?

A Dictionary of Biblical Tradition in English Literature is not indexed by English Headword, so you have to look up the entries using the sidebar navigation. Why would this be the case? This is a Logos Research Edition with the type Encylopedia. Doesn't that require that it be indexed by Headword?

Can this resource be updated to be indexed by English Headword to make it more user-friendly?

    Can it also be added to the Factbook? It doesn't come up when I looked up Abraham's Bosom in the Factbook even though it has an entry, presumably due to its lack of indexing by Headword.

    Facebook doesn‘t include all resources, only a curated list of resources so there is potentially many resources in your library that don’t show in Factbook. It is only a entry point and doesn’t replace searching your library.

    This though may be a resource that should be included in that curated list once it’s indexing issues are corrected.

    Factbook does not contain visual, literary, or musical art works although I have suggested to Sean that it should.  I do not expect A Dictionary of Biblical Tradition in English Literature to appear in the standard sections of Factbook or Guides because it is not a Biblical dictionary in any sense of the term. It is more appropriated treated in a Collections section where the results are all occurrences of the reference.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I see MJ's point. My original request is still valid, can the thing at least be indexed by English Headword like all the other English language dictionaries in my library?

    It desperately needs to be indexed by English headword.

    Strange. This came up earlier Friday in another channel.

    At any rate we're in the process of adding headwords to it.

    Great minds think alike?
