Looking for list of search fields of the Bibles

In a recent post Rosie Perera showed me the "search fieds" to use when doing searches. The image below illustrate what I mean.

So, my question is: Is there a list of search fields by resources. I mean, there are a bunch of resources, and each of them with some different search fields. I would like to know if there is a way to figure out in which resources I can find a specific field. For example, if I want to search for "Later Textual Additions" what are the resources that contain this field?

Thank in advance for any help.

    Nielsen, there is no such list, unfortunately. The information is found only on each Resource's information page, so you have to go through your Bibles one at a time, opening to the information page (the little i with a circle around it on the resource panel) to discover which ones have this tagging.

    If you run a wildcard search on all your Bibles like Rosie suggested checking Later Textual Addition you will eventually (the search will take awhile) find which Bible have that search field. I did this just for the Gospel of John and discovered only a few of my Bibles have this data type. In the HCSB similar text is tagged as Disputed Text, so add this to your search. I notice other tags that may contain similar information. So to find all Bibles that have disputed/later addition text you'd have to check a number of search parameters and probably restrict your search to small sections of the Bible that you know may be marked this way.

    If you open all your Bible and one by one look on the information page that is probably quicker, in my opinion.

    Thank you Mark for your reply.

    If I find time and patience I may go Bible by Bible to list the search fields of each of them. But seems to be quite a work and the main challenge for me is time to do it.

    If you do, please post the results.

    You can do a search on a collection or entire Library and see all the possible search fields, then if curious about any of them you could do a simple search for a word or letter most likely to get a hit, and see what resources come up.

    For example, I have a collection of all Bibles, and there are 57 unique search terms that span all of them, while the ESV only has 7 search terms
