BUG: Louw-Nida (LN) Numbers don't allow Bible search as a search option

In the Louw-Nida dictionary, when I right-click on a Louw-Nida number and select the LN reference on the left, I have the option to search All, Books, This Book, etc. However, I don't have the option to search the Bible. See below.

However, when I search 'Books' it gives me perfectly good search syntax to search a Bible.

Books search:

Bible search (same syntax works in Bible search:

If Logos can create a Books search from the LN reference, why can't it create a Bible search from the same reference, which would actually be more useful and something a user would more likely want to do?

It would have to be All Bibles (those with RI's!). But you should select All Open, which might include some Bibles with RI's.

Wouldn't it normally just search my preferred bible? I want a Bible search (not a Book search) in my Top Bible.

The "normal" would depend on what you select. Reference allows a Books search of all your bibles for LN number (why should it search Top bible?). Headword allows a Bible search for headword:word, which is guaranteed to fail.That is a bug.

If you select a Greek word, Selection allows a Bible search of that word, which will often fail because it should be presented as a lemma e.g. lemma:word.

Thanks for the report. I've created a case to fix this bug.
