Passge Guide Topics Issues

This may have been hashed out before, but if not:

I ran the passage guide on Ephesians 5:22-6:9. References there to husbands, wives, children, love, submission, servants, masters, the church, bride of Christ, etc.

Here's the screen shot of the topics uncovered (I realize its hard to see. I'm using Jing. If you can tell me how to increase the resolution, I'd be grateful.)

Here is the first part of the long list generated in 3.0:

The 4.0 list has no reference to husbands or wives, marriage, etc. While the 3.0 screen shot doesn't have room to show it there are references to husband, father, marriage, wife, and so on.

Perhaps this is related to the current state of topic treatment in 4.0. It seems that the current approach only provides hits in Nave's Topical Bible, Nelson's Topical Text Book, and the New Topical Text Book. No dictionaries, atlases, etc.

If this is the final product,  I'd strongly urge that you replace the algorithm you are using in 4.0 with the one used in 3.0. The 4.0 one is severely deficient at this point. I realize I got lots more topics than I ever needed in 3.0, but better that than this strange mix in 4.0.

    It is quite useless at the moment.

    I specify a Collections section that contains "topical" bibles/books which is far more useful and more concise than L3.

    .

    Maybe I'll give that a try. Usually I am interested in dictionary articles, atlas references, etc.
