Hi Dan, Sorry to write this long post at this moment. I know you are busy in kicking up 3.0.
Long time ago, I've a plan in mind to build a dictionary site, providing users a bilingual English-Chinese translation of jargons or terms in many categories from different books (they are all legal). There are only terms and their Chinese translations, no further definitions or explanations. These jargons are all very unique categories like coral names, herb names, mathematic history terms, and so on. So I can help the translators in my country when they meet rare words, those words may be already translated by other translators in other books, and they can use this site to search. Collecting the bilingual English-Chinese translation of jargons from already published books making the translators help them selfs and each other. This will be a cooperation site. You can see my prototype here (yes, I built it by BoltWire+Highlight plugin): http://txtray.net/jargon/ Currently I put only 200 entries (from three books) on the site for testing. It will be added to 50,000-80,000 entries while go live. For the number of this quantity, I can't set one page per entry. I have to set one page per book which may containing hundreds of entries. This is the reason why I use highlight plugin. It can exactly find and retrieve the result lines of searched terms. However, I got problem here. I found it may be easy for anyone to copy the whole jargon database. Say, for the sake of Chinese characters searching, I have to turn the "words=" parameter from "true" to "false". Then if one search single alphabet from "a" to "z", he can easily get the whole entries in the database. To avoid this I had to set the search parameter using default "words=true", which means Chinese characters may not possible to be searched. This is a dilemma. Disable the Chinese searching, or allowing Chinese but face the risk that the whole database can be easily copied. All I can think is opening the "words=" parameter from "true" to "false", but limit the quantity of results to show. One can search a single "a", but he can see only 20 results of maybe 5,000 data found. Therefor he has to search more accurate word to avoid too many results. But highlight plugin does not support "count=n" parameter. Is it possible to add this function to highlight plugin? Btw, the core "count=n" parameter seems not work in a form. If I put this in a form: [session search "text='{=query}'"] It would work. But if I put this: [session search "text='{=query}' count='10'"] It would output nothing.
