How to search from within the Bible Sense Lexicon

I know I can search from the Context menu on Bible Sense Lexicon entries.

My suggestion is that Logos make it easier to search from within the Bible Sense Lexicon (BSL). Maybe it is possible, but I just don't see it. I would like to be able to Right click on a sense in the relationship chart and have a Search menu choice. At the minimum, I would like a Search Bible button within the article in the BSL.

    I assume you've found the context menu (right click menu) searches from the left side-bar.

    For the Bible search isn't this what you want:

    on lemmas:

    and by sense:

    Thank you, MJ. I knew it must be possible, but I could not find it. I feel really stupid for missing the "Search for sense" link, which was hidden plain sight. My eyesight is getting really bad.

    I expected to be able a right click on a sense in the relationship chart, but that collapses the chart. I still think that would be a good idea to enable looking around for occurrences of various related sense.

    One thing that is missing is the option to do a Bible search from the Context menu in the BSL. When I select a lemma or sense in the Type Of list, the Context menu offers All Open, Books and All. Other than looking a sense up in the BSL, the most useful thing would be to do a Bible search. I can click on the sense in the Type Of list and then search the Bible from that BSL article, but that adds an extra step.

    Another thing that is not obvious is that the Context menu defaults to Selection, rather than the lemma or sense. It would be more intuitive to default to the data type from which you brought up the menu.

    Thanks for your help.

    The standard operators for a datatype provide this function. + > etc.

    I agree that your suggestions should be implemented. Will you do so or should I?

    Well! Today's bug-of-the-day, is on the Mac, if you come up with web turned off (inside app and Mac both), the sense right-side word-relationships won't display. Blank. Now turning web on (inside app) or turning the Mac on (outside the app) displays the sense relationships.

    I can't imagine how they tied the display to the web server at all.
