Description (Last modified by rgrp)

As A

Visitor

I Want To

Do a text search of the available material

So That

I can find where words and phrases that i am interested in are used

Notes

  • This facility should be available through the web interface
  • This facility would essentially replace the concordance (a concordance is a poor man's search facility)

Implementation

Best bet is probably xapian which has some reasonable python bindings available:

http://xapian.org/docs/bindings/python/

Examples of usage can be found in:

http://www.xapian.org/docs/bindings/python/examples/

See in particular:

http://www.xapian.org/docs/bindings/python/examples/simpleindex.py

Which indexes each para of a text file as a separate Xapian document (perhaps what we want for shakespeare texts?).
