Summary: Language-range of search tools (050)

Initial Comment:
There are three 'default'-searches
- standard bible, (in the Search menu)
- open works, (in the Search menu),
- search in each window (on the window toolbar)
For all three searches the range of the works to be
searched can be modified in the search dialog box
under: Choose work(s).
The search in open works and the search in each window
searches all the works specified there regardless the
language they are in.
This is not helpful, if you search e.g. in a German,
French or Greek work for English words.

-> a more language specific choice of the work-range,
to search in the
- active work (windows with more than one works, search
in the first one),
- all works of the same kind and same language than the
active work (e.g. when an English bible is active, in
all English bibles)
- all works of the same language

In the case a work is in two (or more) languages (e.g.
Greek-English lexicon) this should be counted to belong
to the two (or more) languages it represents. In the
Paratext bible program there is e.g. a  Greek lexicon
with English,French and Spanish translations  (this
would belong to 4 languages).
