I would make fewer errors and get less annoyed if the rules were tweaked so that:

1. An entry beginning with OPEN would prioritize resources above Factbook
2. An entry beginning with SHOW would prioritize tools above Factbook
3.A Bible referrence entry would prioritize Open preferred Bible to passage above Factbook

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Fact 1 is that Factbook access is readily available, including an icon next to the GO Box.
    Fact 2 is that Factbook interprets Commands that are intended for tools and resource as if they were part of a Factbook entry! e.g. "Open nlt"    (a bible) is interpreted as a Factbook request for:
            .  Open road integrated media
            .  Open Brethren
            .  The Israelites... the inhabitants of Ai in the Open wilderness
    i.e. it looks for entries that contain the Command "Open"!!

    NB. I had to replace a "Bad Word" with ... above (see image below).

    I like the suggestion but removing Factbook from the GO Box would be better.

    @Dave Hooton  Not for me - I use the GO Box when I want to open Factbook. I know I don't have to but I find it faster to use the same method for almost everything. Newer users need the suggestions to remind them of the Factbook option if it is ever to fulfill the FL goal of having it be the first stop for most research.

    Remove Factbook from the GoBox altogether  Please!

    xn = Christan  man=man -- Acts 11:26 "....and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch".

    The factbook is an annoyance as a whole. I want to search my resources that I spent money on not some (pardon my french) junk that was unfortunately part of the package.

    Get the Factbook outta da GO box. It has its own Icon. If one wants to access it, there you are: the Factbook Button.
