Default "Go" box results

How do you change the default search windows which populate when entering a bible reference in the "Go" box? It gets distracting when I have 5 window panes open with multiple tabs on each pane. I don't need 5 bible resources in the Bible pane. If I want to view another version, I can right click on my mouse and open it.

It also eats up my system resources, causing my Win 7 64 bit machine with 4 GB ram to come to a screetching halt, to the point Logos 4 is not responding. A very unfriendly spinning tire entertains me while Logos utilizes my system resources and catches up.

To top off my frustration, any new searches are added to the previous search which has been run, causing even more resource use. To get out of this reduntancy, I have to type in "Close All". Why this command has not been added permantly to the Tools menu is beyond my understanding.

I upgraded to the Scolars library when Logos 4 came out. I am not a pastor of any church, just a lay person who wants to study the Bible and share it with others. I can say without a doubt Logos 4 has been a big dissapointment for me in performance.

Sorry for the rant. Any help in how to change the default search layout would be appreciated.

Create your own custom Layout with whatever Bible and reference resources you want in it -- perhaps a Passage Guide, one Bible version, and your favorite commentary for example. Link these all on the same Link set. Then save that Layout. Then instead of going to the Home page and using the "Go" box, use your Layout directly. Type the passage you're studying in the Passage Guide reference box (or the Bible if you're not including a PG in your Layout), and all the other panes will sync with it.

For info on how to set up your Layout, see the wiki pages on Layouts and Linking Resources.

Type Close All into the command box. When the drop-down populates click and hold the command and drag it to your shortcut area. You can not close all with a single click without having to type out close all. You can drag most commands to the shortcut area.
