Hastings/Whyte not treated like Dictionaries/Encyclopedias?

Is there any way to get Greater Men & Women of the Bible and/or Bible Characters to show up in the usual places for looking up Bible names? I tried prioritizing them above my other dictionaries and encyclopedias, but they don't show up in the Information Window, in Power Lookup, or in my right-click menu when I right-click a name.

Greater Men & Women is indexed according to English headwords (Whyte is not) and so if it is prioritized, it will show up under selection on a right click, but not as person.

Hi Jerry,

I've tried prioritizing Greater Men & Women at the top of my prioritized dictionaries and encyclopedias, but it still doesn't show up in my right-click menu. The only place that I've seen it show up automatically is in my custom collection of Biblical Biographies in my passage guide.

What words are you clicking on? I can see GMWB in my Power Lookup results.

And when I prioritize it highly enough, I can also get it in my right click menu:

Arggh! Thanks Todd!! I was trying Abram, Sarai, and Lot in Genesis 12, figuring those would be safe "test cases"...but GMWB has entries for Abraham and Sarah, rather than Abram and Sarai, and Lot is a "subchapter" under Abraham. So basically, I chose poor tests and didn't think to double-check to make sure those entries were available. [:p]

Thanks!

Hi Ron, I aways appreciate questions like this because it causes me to think about how to better use Logos. And I imagine it will help others who surf these waters unnoticed.

It's too bad that resource isn't indexed for the LCV (Logos controlled vocabulary) yet. Since the LCV equates Abram and Abraham, then you could search for either one and still find the entry.

If it were indexed for the LCV, it would appear in the Topic section of the Basic search results, and in the Biblical People dictionaries list, and in the right-click menu under the Person tab.

I definitely look forward to the continued expansion of LCV indexing...hopefully sooner rather than later [:)]
