The Third Functions: Search Window (Cont'd)

In my last post I started to talk about some of the basic functions of the search window, holding off on the more advanced portions for a later post. At this time I will continue in the same footing and hopefully finish the basic functions of the search window. We stopped last time dealing with the drop down list of the "Command Line Versions" Button, today we move on to the "Common search Utilities" button. This button is right next to the other button and is light green with the word "tools" when you click on it a drop down list appears. Most of the things mentioned on the drop down list will take another post to go through, each. However, it may be helpful if I give a short description of what they do.

The First mentioned is the Graphical Search Engine, and is one of the most useful tools in BW, that is of course, if you know how to use it. To be completely honest, it is this tool almost specifically that I hope to become better at using as I go through this blogging process. The second is the Word List Manager - This option opens the Word List Manager. The third is the Verse List Manager - This option opens the Verse List Manager. The fourth is the Open Popup Verse Copy Window - This option opens the Popup Copy Window. This pop up window feature is exactly like it sounds, it opens a pop up window that allows you to insert a verse you would like to copy to the clipboard. The fifth is the Find Related Words (KWIC) - This option opens the Key Word in Context (KWIC) tool. As of right now, I can honestly say this is one of my favorite tools in BW, but I will have to save its function for a later time. The sixth is the Find Related Verses (RVT) - This option opens the Related Verses Tool (RVT). The seventh is the Find Related Phrases (PMT) - This option opens the Phrase Matching Tool (PMT). And finally is Command Line Examples - This option displays a table of Command Line examples. This last one is very helpful, it is hard to remember all the different CL searches.

The last of the light green buttons, "the copy button." this button really is self explanatory, even on the drop down list you can see the various ways to copy, whether it be to Microsoft word or whether you want to copy the text or not.

Next I come to another one of my favorite tools, the tabs that are on top of the CL. The tabs allow you to keep track of multiple text and searches. you can do this simply by selecting them, however, if you right click on them, you get more options. You can freeze them so that they always come up to the same place, or you can save them, this is very helpful especially when you are working with multiple text or searches but you don't want to lose the results.
