@Bronson-Brown-deVost : Converted this from a card in the project. Can you fill me in on what you're imaging here?

We will eventually need all sorts of searching capabilities and I am not sure if they would all be done from a single location in the UI or from several wth targeted use cases. For instance, we will want a search like you have in any of the major Bible software solutions (and also QWB) that can find passages by lemma, morph, syntax, etc. (we will also be able to add in materiality to the search like "find every verb at the end of a line or column" or "find every broken instance of the tetragrammaton"). Specific to the text editor, we will probably be doing lots of searches for ideas related to reconstructing damaged or missing text. We will also be doing searches for graphical things in the text editor like show every א in this artefact/combination/group of combinations, or show every overwritten ת in the entire corpus. I doubt we will have this sort of functionality by end of May, but we should have it on the radar, and it should probably be discussed in the Redmine forums.
