oh, i also forgot to mention, in the bvgdocu 2 gui, go to "topics" and select "termonology type" from the drop down. 

It will then list the entries by type, as well as giving you an amount of each type. You can then select a type, and it will list only those of that type, in the second field (just make sure not to have anything typed in the search field, so you get all of em). I think that's what you wanted to begin with, no?
