feature request: deep referencing
Posted: Tue May 18, 2021 12:13 pm
Hello Costas,
First, let me thank you for TheWord.
It's a wonderful Bible study application, and I'm using it all the time.
Thank you also for keeping it compatible with Wine (I'm using it on Linux).
I was looking at the features of SwordSearcher, and one that looks very good is called deep referencing: https://www.swordsearcher.com/features/deepref.html
Basically, they have a reverse index from verses to all the places in all modules where that verse is being linked to, even if it's part of a verse range link.
This makes personal modules and topical modules much more useful - the information is available immediately.
And the information can't be searched using book searches, since that will miss verses which are part of verse range links.
I would really love to have something like this in TheWord.
