FAO Bradley: Time to revisit the PG mstidx issues?

Back in L4 days, you adjusted the passage guide lookups (particularly the commentary section) to increase performance, at the cost of accuracy. As a result, the section populates reasonably quickly, but assumes commentaries should be present, without checking whether they actually contain the passage in question. For example, a PG on 2 Corinthians 3:7 will return a result for the Lexham Textual Notes on the Bible, even though it comments only on v2 in that chapter.

I think it should be revised, because the new milestone search seems to be very quick, and I think uses the normal library index rather than the slower, individual mstidx files.

If the PG behaviour could be switched to use this new type of search, it might be possible to have both speed and accuracy in the PG.
