I was introduced to the term Hexaplaric via a book on the history of the Septuagint, and found that only Factbook has results for Command like lookup Hexaplaric.

Factbook itself has 3 results:

However, these articles have "no results" except for a Search.

Then I find (from outside Logos/Verbum) that Hexapla is a related term, and Factbook has Origen’s Hexapla, with suitable content, but no link to the above articles on Hexaplaric.

So, whilst hexapla is well defined in bible dictionaries (and COED), hexaplaric is not.

    My apologies, it's not clear to me what you are reporting as a bug.

    When the command autocompleter tries to suggest results for Factbook, it's going to use the entire string "lookup Hexaplaric" unless what you have typed starts with "Open Factbook to". You can see the same list of suggestions in the Factbook tool itself if you typed "lookup Hexaplaric" there. Likewise, if you typed "hexaplaric" in the command box, you'd see the same list of suggested events.

    That doesn't surprise me at all. The Factbook pages for events tend to be pretty sparse. Books don't have milestones or topical alignments for (non-Biblical) events.

    Yes, we don't currently connect events with topics in that way.

    Bug with a ?

    I was looking for a defintion of a word I had not encountered before. And i found it wasn't a dictionary form until I was brought around to hexapla, which is in many bible dictionaries and COED (but not MW). But hexaplaric only appeared in one bible dictionary.

    The word "like" shows your understanding, but I had no expectation/understanding.

    Thanks for filling in the gaps.
