How to not duplicate workspace in search


John Fidel

Recommended Posts

Background: I recently viewed the webinar for the ESV Study Bible. I now have a setup similar to the one demonstrated. When I search on a work or key from the ESVS by amplifying to the search on the palette, the resulting window duplicates the esv study bible workspace. I would prefer this not happen as I do not want the x references etc, just the esvs and the search results. Could someone point me to how this can be done.

 

If I am unclear in my request, let me know and I will drop some screen shots.

 

Thanks

John,

 

If I'm understanding you correctly, you have a multi-pane window and you're then clicking the Search button or right-clicking to perform a search. Accordance then opens a window which duplicates all the panes of your first window, but you just want the ESVS without all the other panes.

 

To my knowledge, there's no way to override the automatic duplication of all your existing panes. However, once the second window or tab has been opened, you can close the extra panes. Because that second window is recycled, the next time you click the search button in your multi-pane tab, the single-pane tab will be re-used.

 

Does that help?

True, the Search button always duplicates the panes if you have selected a word in the search text. If your selection is in another pane, only that text opens in the new tab. (The Search button and feature in the right-click menu always search the text in which you make your selection.)

 

If you use the Resource palette to select a specific text to search, all the panes open if the new text is the same as the search text (even if your selection is in a different pane).

 

I am not sure why we make that distinction, but we do. So right now you can open just the text you are searching by amplifying to it from a pane only if it is not the search text in that current tab. Keeping a tab open and reusing it is still probably your simplest solution.
