A Search problem

Shmuel Birnbaum · August 2012

In the past, when I searched for a particular person or place, I first received my list of dictionaries and encyclopedias with their general articles on this particular person or place. For example, if it was Jacob, then a clump of dictionaries such as Eerdmans, Tyndales, etc. would show up first with their man article on Jacob.

Now, I am just getting a large list of every reference to this topic or person. It was so helpful, being able to go immediately into my dictionaries and getting the basic information.

How can I bring it back there?

Thanks,

Shmuel

I'm not sure what you want. You seem to be more interested in articles on these personages rather than scripture passages. Am I correct? Bring it back where?:

Hi Shmuel

Is it possible that previously you were using the Biblical Places/People tool and now you are doing a Basic Search.

That would be consistent with what you are describing.

Thanks. No, when I did a general search, my bible dictionaries would appear first with the main article in them regarding the person, place, or even subject. Now, instead, it just shows the mass of references. Many of these are minor references where the name, place, or subject appear.

This is the topic section in your search. As an undocumented feature, it will automatically be added to your search results, but only if you search All Text in the Entire Library (I learnt about this in the forums and it may be explained in the wiki)
