What's the quickest/easiest way to find all of the resources that are indexed by English Headword in my library?
(1) Well, I think the indexes are kept in the "traits" field somewhere in the database (Mark Barnes asked for those to be exposed as library columns many years ago), at least the quickest and easiest way would be to open the Logos database, locate the resources table that has that info and go for it with an SQL query. It probably takes an IT person less time to do that than me typing it.
(2) Obviously no (1) is not a recommended way to do things for users (and I haven't fired up a database engine to look under the hood of the Logos database for years). What I do is to tag resources with a reference to the index where I feel it's worthwhile (e.g. I tag all lexicons with their indexes, so I can find those who support Strongs, or GK numbers, or Greek headwords) - never felt the need to do so for all resources with English Headwords, though. Type:Enc will have those regularly, type:Glossary will have them often, but not always. Type:lex will have them sometimes (for those I can make a list as long as they are in my library). So if you are really keen on it, see (1)
Have joy in the Lord!

This would be ideal. I was already contemplating creating a feedbear suggestion. Maybe now that Mark Barnes works for FL he can just make it happen. lol

I know probably a 'workaround' and you already know, but for others, select a dictionary with a common english word, and then select then parallels. Which brings up most, including a lot of unexpected sources of english headwords.
But it's only 'headwards' since for whatever reason it's not a complete list ... using 'common' doesn't bring up New Strongs Guide to Bible Words (english headwords only).

I was hoping for something not so manual. But I guess that's one way to do it.
