Chris,

We're toyed around with the best way to add lemma+morph searching in SWORD but haven't finalized anything yet.

Indexing Morphology codes won't helps. This would give you 2 fields which need to be used together.

For example, if you wish to find ????? only in the nominative within 3 words of any present, active, indicative, 2 persons singular or plural verb, you could not satisfy your search.

Believe it or not, end users of tools like Bibleworks seem quite happy to learn odd syntax like:


"?????@* *@PAI2?"~3


Of course GUI tools to help build that syntax for them is also desired.

This it the direction we're heading, but would require lemma encoding changed from strongs to lexical form.

Presently we could nearly obtain this by building an index as (from the start of John 1.1):

G1722@PREP G746@N-DSF G2258@V-IXI-3S

But this would require users to know strongs numbers rather than lexical form, which would almost certainly need a GUI to help them build the search syntax.

Hope this helps,

Troy

Hello

Does anyone know/tried some kind of stem search with JSword? Is it implemented? Or would we need to do a bit more work there?
