SUGGESTION: Partially fix Search by fixing Factbook

MJ. Smith

Thanks to a couple of WordSearch users who kept at it long enough for me to actually understand what they are trying to do, I have a simple but concrete major improvement to the workflow for basic use of Logos. What they want to do is to access basic facts about N - they don't care about references and resources. This should be what Factbook provides if it is to serve as the common starting point as FL intends. The problem is that the "facts" tend to be hidden in the See also section which is at the bottom. It requires familiarity with the system to know where to find them. My suggestion is that the top of factbook concentrate on "just the facts" and the research information all be below. This is almost the current sequence except for the facts in "see also":

participants
setting
instance of
important things
relatives
roles
was used y
is close to
lived at
originated from
ruler of
fled to
was at
related (?)
These facts would be more quickly identified by a basic user if the sequence of Factbook were something like:

Header
Key article
Key passages
Quick Facts (incomplete list above)
Referred to as
Events
Bible book guide
Authors
Works
Biblical senses
Cultural concepts
Dictionaries
Systematic theologies
Journals
Lectures
Sermons
Personal letters
Monographs
Preaching resources
Recommended reading
Books from your library
etc.
This would make it obvious to new users and convenient for basic users how Factbook can serve as a common starting point for finding facts or beginning research.
