Hello ol-tech, I just joined the mailing list. My name is Tristan Chambers and I'm a web developer at the Yiddish Book Center. We have a collection of digitized books in Internet Archive and we are very excited about Open Library and what it means for our collections. I hope we can work together to improve and build this great tool.
My first question at the moment is: does the OCR text layer search on OL support non-roman scripts? I tried searching a word from the Yiddish OCR test on archive.org and nothing came up.[1] I figure it could just be because it's flagged a certain way because it's a test. However, typing in a common Hebrew word doesn't seem to bring back anything either.[2] If it doesn't work what would it take to get it fixed? We may be able to devote some time to improving this tool. I see that you have a git repository!
