First of all, I must say that the standard reports have improved greatly since Beta 1. However, I do have a few issues.
I was looking at our lesson for next week (Amos 5) and tried to do a BWS on "Bethel". When I do this from the NRSV, it gives me the Lemma window and NRSV Translation window. The rest of the sections are greyed out except for Textual Searches which says 0 hits in 0 verses.
So I tried it from LHI. It gives me three Lemma options - the prefixed preposition, Beth, and El. While there is more than a little legitimacy to this, it doesn't exactly let me look for what I wanted. When I ran a BWS on Beth, all the sections worked, but not on the compound word.
In addition, I would like it if the BWS report could include more information from Ancient Manuscripts. Hebrew only looks at biblical references for me, and I have the Hebrew/Cananite Inscriptions. Greek doesn't include the Pseudepigrapha or the Illiad.
By the way, all the Ugaritic texts are listed as type:Monograph instead of Ancient Manuscript. I personally would love to see results from this included in BWS as well.
