Hello, as all of you have experienced, if you type a search into the search panel's input box, as you type, a drop down list appears, displaying 'suggested matches' that one might want to select from. Today, in response to another post, I ran an experiment within the Search panel subject to the following constraints:
All searches took place within the Search panel that one gets when the magnifying glass icon next to the Library icon is clicked from the Homepage with the search context set to '"All Passages" in "All Bibles" for' with the Grid view selected. I had no other panels open prior to beginning the search.
When I type 'sin' into the Search input box, a drop down list appears with the following (top 10) elements:
- sing
- sin
- singular
- since
- single
- sind
- Sinai
- sinners
- Sinaiticus
- sine
I don't understand this ordering. Is it done by relevance, i.e. all words in the Logos index are displayed according to how many times the word shows up in all indexed resources? Intuitively, I would expect an alphabetized list, but I can also see the rationale behind a relativized one. If the list is relativized, I am hard put to believe that 'sing' occurs more times in all the resources I have than 'sin' does. Does anyone know the precise rationale behind what is displayed in the drop down list?
I had 33,692 results in 5,584 verses. Also, does a search time of ~85 seconds and a render time (i.e. the time required to fill in the grid view with the search results) of ~12 seconds seem reasonable for the Logos 4 product I own? I know that all of us have different resources and system configurations, and it is therefore difficult to be definintive about any benchmarking results, but if someone is running Platinum or Gold, and their search returns in 4 seconds, I'd say there's something amiss with my configuration.
Thanks,
Matt
