Interesting Words improvements

I believe the "interesting Words" tool in the passage guide is one of the most elegant and useful exegetical tools for getting a sense of core themes of a passage.

However, it could be so much more useful!

First, is there a settings tool somewhere to display the words in a traditional horizontal-only format? I find the Logos4 version is a little too pretty and cluttered. It has actually LOST exegetical value in the upgrade from 3 to 4.

Second, it would also be very helpful to me if the original language versions could include an english gloss as an option. I want very much to know what the original language frequent or unusal words are, but my vocab is not always strong enough to know what they mean in English.

(The English version of the tool seems to search the English translation rather than the original language, so variations in translations can obscure emphasized words in the original. Though I'd love to hear I'm wrong on how this algorithim works.)

Third, I wish I could search a word, either in the in list of interesting words itself or when it appears below in the list of appearances in context. I'd like to right-click and execute a word search of some sort (keylink, word study, whatever.)

    Regarding this point, I believe that it has been requested that the "Interesting Words" section offer the same display options as the "Topics" section (Tags, Cloud, List)...but as of yet, I don't think it has been implemented.

    It was suggested after the feature was implemented in the topics section. You are correct, it has not been added yet.
