Yes, it needs to be a good dialog, but I think we can start simple. Look
at the dialog of BibleTime-0.2.2. These are the options that are
supported by SWORD by now. I would like a tabbed (grin) dialog with at
least two tabs. The first is the search dialog, maybe a second with the
search scope- but it can as well go on the first page for a better
overview and a second with the search result. The search result is not
just a list of keys but rather keys and the data for that key bundled
together. It is easy this way to display the found verse in the result
tab. This way we can also have a print option which prints the found
verses. These are my only thought. Yours are very welcome!
