Topic pages

Every topic on the reviewed list has a page of its own: where it comes up, how that has changed over the years, who speaks to it most, and which topics travel with it. The pages are a way to browse the libraries by subject rather than by query.

Finding a topic page

• Open the topic directory from the "Topics" item in the sidebar or the "Browse topics" link in the footer.
• On any result card, expand the card and click a topic chip's name. The topic page opens in a new tab, and your search stays where it was.

The directory

The directory opens with "Most documented", the 24 topics with the most documents, each chip showing its count. "Browse by area" lists one card per group with its largest topics. A group page then lists every topic in the group by category, with a jump bar across the top. Topics with fewer than five documents are drawn in a lighter shade.

What a topic page shows

1. The topic's name, a one-line description, and "Also known as" with the other names it goes by.
2. A count line: how many documents, across how many libraries, and the first and last years.
3. A search box. What you type runs as a search with TOPIC:"Name" added, so the results stay inside the topic. "See the top passages in search" runs the topic on its own.
4. A "Gospel Topics overview" link, when a Gospel Topics essay matches the topic.
5. "Emphasis over time", when the topic spans at least three years: one bar per year, shown either as documents or as documents per 100 tagged that year. A footnote reminds you that the Liahona begins in 2021.
6. "Where it lives": a bar per library, largest first.
7. "Latest": up to ten of the newest documents, no more than three from one library, each linking to its source. "Earliest" shows the oldest.
8. "Most frequent voices": up to twelve people with at least two documents on the topic. Each name runs a search for that topic and that speaker together.
9. "Related topics": "Often appears with" lists topics tagged on the same documents, with the number they share, and "More in" lists the rest of the category.

Searches started from a topic page use the libraries saved in your filters, and the year range of the tab they open in if you set one, so a library you have switched off stays out of those results too.

How topics are assigned

The list holds about 2,500 reviewed subjects. For each talk or article, an AI model chose its topics from that list, or the topics were carried over from labels the source already had. A tag means the document treats the subject. It is not a ranking, and a few tags are wrong. Counts are rebuilt once a day, so a page can trail new documents by up to about a day.
