BUGGISH: Please flesh out context menu search documentation or fix BUG

Search — This section has quick links to run multiple types of search queries based on what tab is selected.

Verbum Help (Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2024).

This snippet is from the section on the Context Menu, action side.

I was playing with the Louw-Nida selection on the tab side and discovered that when my preferred Bible was NRSVue but my open Bible was the ESV, when I selected the Bible search option it built a search that only searched the ESV. I expected it to search either my top Bible or my top 5 Bibles. Rather, two options - Bible and this book - give me exactly the same results. Is this the expected behavior? Please file a bug report and flesh out the documentation so one knows what to expect.

Yes. They all search the current resource.

Inline performs an inline search in this resource.

Bible performs a Bible search (in a Search panel) in this resource.

This book performs a Books search (in a Search panel) in this resource.

(Consider the case when you're right-clicking in a Greek NT or a German Bible; it wouldn't make sense for "Bible" to perform a search in your preferred Bible.)
