SUGGESTION: Bible search followup to the Experimental web search -- enhanced Bible Browser
I would like to see a consolidated, consistent, simplified approach to the current Bible search functions independent of any move towards a more synonym friendly enhancement. My plan begins with the Bible Browser. Yes, I am deliberately ignoring the online/offline issues.
- Eliminate the need for a separate interactive by:
- Make the major facet name a selectable item. For facet driven interactives like Speaking to God, this essentially converts the Bible Browser into the Interactive.
- add a ?-icon to the major facet name to link to the documentation for the facet.
- bubble charts (as in Miracles of the Bible) or other such visualization as appropriate
- analysis view as in Bible and Morph searches where the label attributes are the column headers
Note this solves the problem of the user needing to remember what labels are available and of finding the documentation which is spread out across multiple resources. It also, by the use of the analysis view table, allows the user to easily compare multiple occurrences of the label for understanding the data and, by use of the facets, allows the easy selection of specific examples.

There are lots of interesting ideas here, thank you. Certainly, the idea of consolidating multiple tools into one while also making it more accessible is exactly the sort of thing we're looking to do.
