[INDOLOGY] Search interface for the GRETIL Corpus

[Claudius Teodorescu]

Dear Arlo,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, it is possible to add new texts to the corpus. I would also like to
find a reliable module for splitting the words that are written without
spaces between them, during indexing. As of now, the full text index
contains 6.3 millions words, as it is also including such aggregated words.
In this way, the index would be smaller.

The current approach for indexing texts within GRETIL allows for indexing
also texts that are in plain text (TXT) format or even HTML format, if
there are no resources for converting them to XML (TEI).

So, let us start adding new texts! :)

Best wishes,
Claudius
