Does it support colloation / word cluster / keyword generation? #462

These are all popular features of a desktop corpus tool, i.e. AntConc, Wordless, etc.

We support grouping by context, i.e. group by the hit text, or by the word left of the hit.

There's no collocation functionality in the frontend yet, but there is an experimental way to determine collocations in BlackLab Server: use the /hits endpoint and pass calc=colloc. See http://inl.github.io/BlackLab/server/rest-api/corpus/hits/get.html

I'm not sure about word cluster or keyword generation; can you link to pages describing those features? We likely don't have finished support for them, but perhaps there is a way to achieve a similar result.

I see. BlackLab server can only provide retrieving rather than computing statistics.

We've talked in the past about adding more statistics features, but not at the moment, no.
