infer ayn and alef in search for transcription with words starting with vowel #480

Closed PietroLiuzzo closed 7 years ago

PietroLiuzzo commented 7 years ago

from @thea-m searching for a word starting with a vowel should also point to results ʾ+vowel, if possible "yekunno amlak" should point to Yǝkunno ʾAmlāk

http://betamasaheft.aai.uni-hamburg.de/search.html?query=yekunno+amlak returns the expected result. please close if ok.

it should also work the other way around. searching for "enda" should get also "ʾƎndā" and if possible search for "mikael" should get "Mikāʾel"

PietroLiuzzo commented 7 years ago

the bahaviour has long been as follows:

enda already searches for enda ʾenda ʿenda ǝnda ēnda and ignores diacritics; mikael for mikael mikaǝl mikaēl and ignores diacritics ; Mikāʾel for Mikāʾel Mikāʾǝl Mikāʾēl Mikāʿel Mikāʿǝl Mikāʿēl Mikāel Mikāǝl Mikāēl and ignores diacritics.

without a more precise rule I can't simply assume any vowel could be preceded by alef or ayn.

If you could please specify a more precise rule I can add it. e.g. could it be when two vowels follow each other add alef or ayn in between?? it is also true that you could already make your search fuzzy.

this issue is also sorted by the possibility to run a fuzzy search, which will give the wanted results among others.
