שלום וברכה, Base Hasefer ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.basehasefer.com__;!!KGKeukY!hFFsIl6h7CMa-cKGDrREV4kv3pKBPv3jKP9kuZu1x0feOFOcfc-CB3yS5gtecP9DIK4$ ) is an analytical Torah search engine that starts with the תנ"ך with hopes to add other ספרי קודש in the future. It offers innovative, advanced tools for searching, viewing and analysis.
A few of you "safranim" are already aware of Base Hasefer as it has been listed as a resource on the web sites of the National Library of Israel, Yeshiva University, Columbia, Princeton and more. Those who aren't yet familiar are welcome to include it in their library web sites and listings of digital Torah resources. Among its features are: - Simple and Advanced search that allow the specification of many conditions while searching for patterns and combinations of letters, נקודות and even טעמי המקרא - A Tanach "browser" that in addition to תנ"ך text lets the user display side by side columns of Targum, כתב סת"ם, כתב עברי and word-by-word gematria - A page that displays statistics on frequency of words used in תנ"ך - A "Text comparator" that lets one chose two different groups of pasuk sections for multi-faceted comparisons - A visualizer that displays a collapsible tree breakdown for every pasuk in תנ"ך according to the rules of Rav Breuer z"l's ספר טעמי המקרא - A word-cloud generator for sections of תנ"ך (which also display clouds for נקודות, טעמי המקרא and gematria usage!) - A feature that recently received an Honorable Mention in the Powered by Sefaria contest of Summer 2020 - a very interactive 3D family tree of a comprehensive list of characters appearing in the תנ"ך beginning with אדם וחוה and extending through the beginning of בית שני (see the fourth listing from the bottom at https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.sefaria.org/powered-by-sefaria-contest-2020__;!!KGKeukY!hFFsIl6h7CMa-cKGDrREV4kv3pKBPv3jKP9kuZu1x0feOFOcfc-CB3yS5gteHflgXOk$ ).

Clicking the info button (i) from the menu section in the upper right of the screen with bring you to general information about Base Hasefer. More importantly, clicking on the Help button (?) there will pop up a context-sensitive box with instructions on how to use different aspects of the software. I would suggest briefly visiting both of them in order to understand things and then to try out some searches and other features. Please keep in mind that while many things work nicely this is very much a work in progress and there will be glitches. >From time to time I have been posting דברי תורה to the associated >https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://basehasefer.blogspot.com/__;!!KGKeukY!hFFsIl6h7CMa-cKGDrREV4kv3pKBPv3jKP9kuZu1x0feOFOcfc-CB3yS5gtetXTdfVQ$ > where I try to offer practical examples of how to use my software while >researching material for דברי תורה.
