Thank you, Claudius, this is a very helpful new search interface.

I've been thinking recently about the long-term lifetimes of various digital projects.

The way you have implemented this as a static site hosted at Gitlab means that it is not dependent on anything except the persistence of gitlab itself.  There are no fees to be paid for a DNS or webspace, no software to be personally maintained.  In twenty, thirty years, this search interface is likely to still be available, even if your personal interests have moved on.

Thank you!
Best,
Dominik

Dear all,

During the last months, I managed to set a search interface for the texts of the GRETIL Corpus, located at [1]. The interface is published as a static website, with a static full-text index and a static search engine, which execute the search in the browser, without the need for a server.

In order to convert the files to HTML format, which is used to display them in the search interface, I had to make some small updates to the XML files of the corpus. These changes are documented in [2]. As one expects, there is still work to be done with the XML files of the corpus.

Please let me know if you find any bugs with the search interface.

Best regards,
Claudius Teodorescu
