How do I find the alternative names now that it no longer appears in the Factbook header.

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Most of the resources in Logos are not fully indexed so searching for Clement of Rome as a tagged person finds only a fraction of the actual occurrences in my library. Searching for the text string finds many more. Knowing to also search for Pope Clement I adds even more. These alternative searches used to be able to be found in the header of the Factbook entry as alternative names. These have been removed in the new, sleeker design. What is the intended user action for this sort of use case?

The Search link in the Dig Deeper section will give you a search with all of the alternate names.

@Andrew Batishko The Search doesn't work:

NichtnurBibelleser

And the English name produces a lot more hits than the one with the German name:

German search without the "unknown datatype" which I manually removed:

That's an instance of this bug:

@Andrew Batishko With the latest release (41.2 (41.2.005) is now available) the Datatype Error doesnt't appear any more.

But searching for the German name still yields only 134 hits in My Library:

term:(Biographie:"Clemens (Apostolischer Vater)" OR Thema:"Clemens von Rom" OR Abschnitt:Thema:"Clemens von Rom" OR Meilenstein:Biographie:"Clemens (Apostolischer Vater)" OR Meilenstein:Thema:"Clemens von Rom" OR Eintrag:"Clemens (Apostolischer Vater)" OR Eintrag:"Clemens von Rom" OR Eintrag:"Heiliger Papst Clemens I." OR "Clemens (Apostolischer Vater)" OR "Clemens von Rom" OR "Heiliger Papst Clemens I.")

And searching for the English name in My Library yields 1295 hits:

"Clement of Rome"

Does that mean that I have to enter both versions of Names every time I'm looking for someone?
