How Do You Know What Resource You Have After a Search?

I did a search of my whole library for the greek string apostas* (actually αποστασ*) and got many results in the first (narrow column), but the results have acronyms that I do not recognize, like CT:B6E and CS:EE (much etc.).  I click on the acronym and the resource pops up in the column to the right.  But I cannot find anyway to identify the resource (not right click, not clicking on the book icon, not nothing.  How can I know what resource came up?

Also, is there anyway to expand the narrow first column at the expense of the other two to the right?  I guess we are stuck with 3 columns & only 3 with Biblia: a search column with result and 2 other columns to the right of equal size???

Thanks to anyone for any help.

    If you hover over the resource acronym you should get a popup with the full name

    Not exactly - but if you switch to "mobile view"

    you can get a full screen search

    Just select the appropriate option from the resource menu.

    In addition to Graham's advice, note that Biblia will display the short title, if it's been set. So if you edit the short title in Logos, you'll see clearer abbreviations in Biblia and elsewhere.

    Thanks so much to all of you for your help.

    Mark, you say, it will display short title, if it has been set.

    How do you set it?

    Thanks a lot

    Μαrk thanks, for the answer.  But I don't see anyway to get to such a resource menu for the first, the narrower, search window so that I could stretch the first window (the search results) wider.

    Thanks

    Thanks Graham.

    But when I do "switch to mobile," the first search column disappears altogether.

    Sorry - if you scroll up to the top of the window you will see a search button on the top right

    Click on this and you will get a full-screen search window. You will not be able to see the actual resources at the same time but I don't know if that will be a problem for you
