Context during searching #62

Currently, searching in texts operates on single tokens.

Some users expressed a wish to search on consecutive tokens. While that is probably too complex to implement (and therefore maybe not even desirable -- we'd need a query language like ANNIS has for that), we could allow them to easier find passages they're looking for by including context on the search results page.

This could be a configurable setting, but I'm not sure how hard this would be to do. Likely depends on implementation details of the search functionality.
