resources contents lookup
I've noticed that on some resources with large contents/indexes, that you can't see all of them.
For example, I've downloaded the isbe for offline use, but I can't lookup everything while being offline.
If I click on contents and the letter A for example, I can't scroll the whole index. It stops at a certain point.
I can't seem to be able to find anything with the search box next to the contents either if what I'm searching for is not in the offline index.
I've tried this with some other dictionaries and encyclopedias and they are behaving the same way.
If I go online, the search box does find all the subjects/topics/items that I put in to search.
Is this function by design? If so, it does mean we can't use any kind of dictionary style resource while being offline.
That would be a disappointment for me, because I thought I would be able to use my dictionaries offline for quick lookups. That was in fact one of the major reasons why I bought an iPad.
Any help with this will be much appreciated. Maybe someone knows how to lookup something in a dictionary in another way.
