Enhancements to morph searches
There are several enhancements Logos should make to the morph search to make it more useful.
1) The results list does not display morph data when the mouse hovers over a word. This is a real limitation. This goes for the "verses" and "aligned" tabs.
2) The graph results feature is great but I am surprised that the graph is ONLY focused on the number of hits ! The graphs, IMO, should be able to show elements related to morph data, since this is a morph search. So for example, if I search for a lemma, the graphs should be able to show me: the case usage, person usage, number usage, mood usage, tense usage, etc.
3) I'm astounded that the proximity commands (detailed here) are pretty much invisible - they are not even in the help files! In my opinion, it would be great if proximity commands could pop up in the way that morph tags do, say with something like the # or & sign.

In reverse order
3. Yes, it would be desirable for the various proximity markers to be included in the help file.
2. Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muß man schweigen. (Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent). I don't use the graph feature.
1. I assume you aren't specifying any particular form since otherwise it would be in your search term. If you are seeking a particular form, I would recommend specifying it.george

Same order:
3) at minimum the help files yep. Ideally, an easy way to use them.
2) I don't use them a ton in Logos either. But Accordance allows for many sets of data to be viewed in graph form, and it is great. Particularly when searching for particular lemmas.
1) Yes I mean searching a particular lemma, but even searching for something semi-specific. So searching for a verb in a particular tense, Logos could specify its mood usage in graph form, etc.
These types of additional analysis on the search are all available to logos in the search, and available to the user through a lot of counting and extra searches. If the info is already there in the first search, just help us to see it quickly.
