User notes updates:

 

* search for scripture verses that have been turned into links (e.g. search for 1 Sam 1 and get 1 Sam 1:3 or 1 Sam 1-3)

* improve RTL text and thereby improve searching for RTL text

* select text (a portion of a verse) and then add a note to that text - brings a snippet over into note and marks it with a highlight in the text

* allow other types of content (as in other tools) to be searchable (e.g. tags on a note)

* allow complex searches between different types of content (e.g. content: אמר <AND> scripture: 1 Sam 1 <NOT> [Range 1 Sam 1]

Yes, and a search for the User Notes content in Research is important.

 

Please activate also the Quick Entry Pop-Up menu in User Notes, plus the command-J function.

Also it would be nice to be able to search scripture in notes. That way if I put cross reference in at Gen 12:1 for Gen 22:2, it would show up up if a searched for Genesis 22 or Genesis 22:1-5. Or something where it recognizes the reference as a reference beyond just for hovering.


Thanks!
Sorry just saw that I already posted this in this vet thread. Well you get the idea. user notes have such potential with a few build outs.

Good requests, and please allow wildcards to be used when searching the User Notes.  As of today, it doesn't seem that wildcards are allowed.

*bump* any hope for this one? Would be really nice to have a boost in notes: search improvements, text/formatting/RTL stability... etc.

 

Thanks!

Some other helpful improvements / add ons

• stability improvements overall - I find it glitchy especially when switching between different languages
• wider recognition for scriptural links in Auto making links (e.g. currently it does not recognize John 1:1 but will recognize Jn 1:1)
• option to drop the table of contents on the left side (waste of space) when opening notes on their own
• more display options like we have in text display (e.g. option to drop reference)
• more options for importing notes (right now all I'm aware of is importing one verse per one document)
• automatically find scripture links when closing
• auto update when closing (without dialogue box popping up)
• insert note on specified verses

bump ...again...

 

• Search view improvements - right now when I search for something it is incredible difficult to find if its not in the first paragraph or two of notes. It would be helpful for the search hit to be at the top of pane so it would be obvious where the hit is.
• Way of breaking up notes into articles (is this possible already? it says I can search for an article...) so that when I get a hit result, other content unrelated (broken up by a certain marker? two paragraph returns?) would be hidden. This is how it works with every other tool or text.
• Search for Scripture option more than just content. E.g. searching for Gen 1:2 would be found in a mention of Gen 1:1-2:4. Right now content search alone won't find it.

bump bump...

 

• ​insert a note in multiple verses (e.g. if there's a phrase that shows up in 15 verses it would be nice to avoid the copy and pasting to all 15 verses if I wanted the same note on each)
• add charts/spreadsheets - simple and basic would do wonders - just something to control tabs better
• searching Hebrew, Greek etc - ignore diacritics (vowels, etc) options
