Searching Enhancements:
- Support for Hebrew Literal search. Note: This is an upgrade of the existing Literal Search. Hebrew Texts have also been updated to support this feature. Check for Content Updates to download the latest updates of your Hebrew Texts.
- Search commands and symbols can be used with a Literal Search.
- Root and inflected searches are supported in a Literal search. When combining other words with the Letters words, such as with an @ sign, the hit will be true if either part of the Letters word matches other words.
- When opening a new with a Hebrew with the new Letters search feature, the default search mode is now Letters, if the Search tab Preferences are set to “Flex” search.
- In a Search tab, if the Search mode is set to “Letters”, then mixed terms such as phrases, the use of the @, and other Boolean commands such as AND, OR, and WITHIN are supported. The WITHIN word value respectively depends upon whether the Letters or Words search mode is used.
- Word highlighting is supported by highlighting all parts of a search hit for the word and saving all word attributes for each part of a Letters search.
- In the Construct Tab: Groups of words can be found together within a Hebrew Letters word. For example, searching for ב and ראשית in the same column will find the first word of Genesis 1:1. However multiple tags will still be supported as before with an implied OR relationship.
- The WITHIN calculation is determined by whether or not the Letters or Word search mode is used in the linked search tab.
- Users can now select the Tool that is opened by default when triple-clicking on a word on a Text-by-Text basis. This setting overrides the settings in the Accordance Preferences.
- Enhanced the STYLE search results to highlight the individual words that have a style on the words (previously, the STYLE search results would highlight the entire verse).
Text Display Enhancements
- Section Headings Display
- Section Headings are now embedded in the actual Text display.
- Section Headings can be hidden in the Text Display settings.
- Section Headings are displayed if in a verse search for the first verse (or more), or if showing all verses, such as All Context
- Added "Headings" to the Search For -> Menus and main search menu, when Section Headings are present.
- Added customizable shortcut options for Search For -> Flex, Letters, and Headings.
- Note: Section Headings do not support highlights.
- Book Titles Display
- Book Titles can now optionally be embedded in the actual text display.
- Added support for that include custom formatted book names in the text.
Parallel Texts improvements
- Parallel Text panes can now combine three Texts in the pane view.
- Added support for the display of parallel Text modules with books with other corpora besides the Text’s primary .
- If the Search Text has books with other corpora, the pull-down menus for each pane and for the submenu for Add Parallel>Texts now show all parallel texts for each corpus present in the Search Text. The extra texts for corpora that are not the main corpus of the search text are listed below texts with the main corpus separated by a divider in the menu.
- Added the option to include alternate texts from other corpora when adding Alternate Texts to a pane. These extra alternative texts are added as a submenu in the menu item “Other Texts”.
- Alternative Texts panes are able to remove individual alternative texts in a pane.
Expanded Localization
- Added initial support of Localized Hebrew and Greek Glosses, and Parallel Section Heading titles. Localizers are still working to complete the supporting information.
- Added support for localized Topic titles, including searching for them, and their word list. This also has a change where the (TOPIC) command has UTF8 characters, like already done for LINK, HITS, etc.
- Section Headings are localized in the Info Pane, if pulling from the Outlines module (i.e. no Section Headings in the text from the publisher).
- The Parallel Section Heading title is localized in the Info Pane.
- The Hebrew and Greek Glosses is localized in Instant Details.
Scrolled content improvements:
- Mouseover highlighting now works between tied tabs, instead of only between panes in the same tab. This applies to tied Text and Text Browser tabs.
Updated Find/Replace features
- Added support for a simple Find dialog box to find text within the immediate context of Search results in the following tab or panes: Research, Text, Tool, User Note, User Tool, Paper, or Stack.
- Significant redesign of the Find/Replace dialog into a floating window, with Find and Replace modes, optimized controls, and language entry button.
- A Find result is displayed in a yellow rectangle with drop shadow rather than the normal selection color.
- Various optimizations of the Find algorithm to better support Edit windows with mixed encodings.
- New keyboard shortcuts to change the language of the Find or Replace fields.
Major upgrades to the PDF Import Parser:
- Much better compatibility and support.
- Fully cross-platform code, so PDFs imported on either Mac or Windows should look the same.
