Request: More information in the information tab.

I obviously stepped into something here:-)

 

As a user that never has been a part of this forum until logos 4 beta - I am oblivious to any previous discussion about negatives of using strong's numbers.  Feel free to educate me[:)]

 

My concern is that although there are practical ways to find all the times a specific word is used, and in which verses - it is not as easy as Logos 3 and definitely not as easy as it could/should be (in my opinion)

A greater frustration is that there is no practical way, once the verses are found, to then copy them into my notes.

I know I can click on each reference in the search results - open it in a bible tab - verse copy it - go to my notes and paste, and repeat 10 times (or more or less).   

My thought was it would be helpful for users when they look for information on a word, they would get the definition, lexicon usage, Tense voice mood, and then all the different times that word is used.

 

 

I guess as well from the responses, I am unsure if the feelings expressed are against the idea itself, or that Strong's numbers would be used as the source of the search information.

1. The lexical entries are lacking.
It is really more of a thesaurus than it is a lexicon. There is a lack of explanation regarding the USAGE/BACKGROUND of terms and is simply a list of meanings. A real lexicon provides a more full/accurate understanding.


2. Context issues.
The Strong's Concordance ONLY identifies a Hebrew/Greek term, it does not give meanings across contexts. This is where close attention is required. There is a fallacy called "illegitimate totality transfer" and those who use the Strong's Concordance need to be aware of this fallacy.


3. Failure to identify all Hebrew/Greek words.
Even though the impression is given that Strongs gives ALL of the words, it especially lacks when it comes to Hebrew and Greek. There are Hebrew constructs and Greek prefixes that Strongs does not identify. As you know, if you are missing a part of a word, then coming up with the meaning for that word is absurd.


Points 1 and 2 I have been aware of for years, and is the reason that I do not use strong's "lexicon" as a primary resource for getting information. I was not in anyway implying that Strong's "lexicon" was to be the source of information.


Point 3, I have become more aware of the last few years.


Sorry if my request was misleading - It has nothing to do with strong's numbers or Lexicon. It is about expanding the information that is displayed for each word.

Currently the information shows your preferred dictionary and lexicon (which on my setup is not strong's:-) Tense, etc. and cross-references to the verse the word is found in. I would just like the option to expand that to include every verse that contains that particular word. Whether the search is based on Strong's numbers or Lemma, etc . is not what I was getting at.

Thank you all for filling me in on the past discussions on Strong's.
