a. We could type in, for example, joseph.wars.2.1 or similar to
look up references quickly.<br>
<div> b. We could run searches in specific groups of authors or

<font face="FreeSerif">Range-based searches are available for Bibles
and commentaries, both sidebar and advanced. Sword doesn't support
ranges in general books, sorry.<br>
<br>
You can define sets of books to be searched at once in adv.search.<br>
<br>
The completely random nature of genbook keys makes it pretty much
impossible, I think, to allow abbreviated key selection as you
suggest. That is, for example, Bible book names are standard,
codified, known to all, so "gen" means Genesis to everybody. The
example you offer, "joseph," could mean either Josephus or the
Joseph Smith Translation (which Crosswire has, under the
cult/unorthodox heading). And that's just the module name. The key
within the module is even less specified, the ambiguity and
randomness is too great. Genbook keys have no regularity other
than using '/' as an element separator.<br>

There are sound reasons in the realm of formal information theory
for why it is flatly impossible to "write a program correctly" for
future use of a sort that is unknown at the time of writing.
Software goes through updates for a reason -- because we find
wonderful and horrifying new things we want to do with it that
nobody ever thought of before.<br>

<div>It looks as if you fixed kretzmann's commentary. Thanks!
Now go to the ABP version of the Bible and check out, for
instance, Mark 2. The incredible shrinking font has struck
again! :-)<br>

<font face="FreeSerif">We are (rather annoyedly) awaiting the 1.8.0

Brian fixed Kretzmann separately, knowing that a (released) engine
fix would be a geological epoch coming.</font><br>

<font face="FreeSerif">Yeah, that's some weird artifact induced by
