Hey Sam! Great idea.

I respectfully approached today's Kalpataru (Gemini CLI) and made your wish. Fast forward a few hours... And voilà! The mirror at https://tylergneill.github.io/ngmcp-wiki-mirror now has a link to a search.html. There, you can enter search terms in whatever transliteration scheme you like and browse through results. It's not grammar-aware. Let me know whether it works, if you'd prefer another format, etc.

For those so inclined, you can also download the collection of files from GitHub and search the HTML files using regular expressions etc.

Kind wishes,

Tyler

Subject: Re: [INDOLOGY] NGMCP

Following up, thank you so much to Tyler and Dominik for showing how to make the database navigable again. I was in a panic when the wiki began to 404.

A question I have that I hope those who showed how to make the database available again is: is there a way to search for words that appear in the entry, but not the title? For example, if I want to see what colophons have the word "bhikṣunī", on the original wiki I could search the word and all mss with the searched term in their catalog entry would populate in the search results. I cannot figure out if this is now possible. This (https://catalogue.ngmcp.uni-hamburg.de/content/search/ngmcpdocument.xed) seems the most promising place to do so, but I have not had any luck in my attempts so far.

Thank you again for making the database available!

Sam
