Journal Glossary: search?

[Nhaps]

Journal glossary works well, but there is room for improvement

Request:
Would it be possible to add a search option? Any option(s) would be useful:

1. Within the journal glossary itself (good but not the best, unless a keyboard shortcut is created)
2. Within global search (accessed by arrow down: useful)
3. Command + F (it would be nice if the glossary could be added)
4. Best bet: I wish there would be a way to have the journal glossary at the sidebar (We wouldn't have to click several times in order to access the list like now)

Reason:
There is no search option; all we can do is sort the three columns and attempt to find the desired item by typing the initial letters. As a result repeated items are created.

Unlike references, the journal glossary is meant to be set-and-forget. I don't see a reason to allow searching since it's already alphabetically ordered.

Certain styles make heavy use of this feature. I have hundreds of abbreviations, and they change frequently. But if this is just an isolated request, then I can settle for the way it is. It's your call.

The journal names change frequently? Really? Even in the age of electronic publishing I've never heard of that. From what to what?

Many journal titles and series do not appear in the SBL manual. Consequently we are forced to make an educated guess until the editors standardize their abbreviations. Then we correct them. It's an unforgiving system, believe it or not.
