Media Browser: Search by Chapter and Where are Biblical Books

In the media browser, you can search by verse, eg James 2:1 but not simply by chapter James 2. It would be helpful to have the latter and not simply the former.

Down the side there are a variety of ways to narrow the selection of images: language, media collection, tags, kind, author, biblical places, biblical things, biblical events, biblical concepts, preaching themes, and universal timelines. But, I am surprised that there are no biblical books and then down to chapter level....

Be sure to enclose the reference in angle brackets:

Thanks Mark. I obviously don;t do enough searching.

Why does James 2:1 work but not just James 2?

Try <James 2:1>. I think you'll see additional results. I suspect it might have to do with how Faithlife tagged the various sorts of media it has.

Without the angle brackets it's just matching the string of characters "James 2:1". Nothing currently happens to have the string "James 2" in its tags.

In other parts of the software, we automatically up-convert your search to include the angle brackets if you forgot them, but the Media Browser uses a different search back-end (because complicated technical reasons) that doesn't yet have this nicety. Sorry for any inconvenience there.

This should be improved in 7.5 (7.5.0.0031).

Indeed. I noticed it automatically corrects each search to have angle brackets. That should prevents some headaches.
