This is a great UI. The UI has been built over Cologne data which is converted for stardict files. I request friends to test and let me know the feedback and feature requests.

Mr. Neelesh Bodas @neeleshb is really very helpful. We may explore two possibilities with him.

  1. Borrow his frontend UI for Cologne dictionaries and request him to provide enhancements as per our need, as we have been looking for a good UI person for long time.
  2. Chalk out a plan by which changes made at csl-orig repository (upstream source) gets easily integrated to ashtadhyayi.com (downstream application), so that the users get access to the most correct data, always. Ideally this would require some idempotent scripts which can be run everyday via a cronjob.

This issue can be treated as an anchor for brainstorming in this direction.

It's simply superb.

Highlighting the seached word throughout the body matter and clickable words in them for further navigation, directly from within the body matter without going to search box, make the user's life easy.

And of course, showing the results from all dictionaries at once has now become a standard feature, which I would say AB had pioneered exactly 10 years ago (2011).

The Cologne website might add to the homepage a link to a list of implementations built from Cologne data, such as this one.

One minor request for this is to have a 'credits' section which should mention the Cologne sanskrit-lexicon. (Note to @Andhrabharati : You need to similarly mention Cologne sanskrit-lexicon, for example in https://andhrabharati.com/dictionary/sanskrit/Credits.)

Spelling variations:

Try aNga, aNgaH, aMga, aMgaH --- should all these yield the same results?

What about pitA, pitf, pitR, पिता, pitar, pitā, pitṛ

guru, gurvi, gurvI

Looks like quite a few spelling variations are nicely implemented.

div -- in the Wilson result, the results include both 'div' and 'diva'. This seems reasonable, What is the rule?

I like the idea of letting others deal with UI. Whether UI improvements should be done at Cologne sanskrit-lexicon web site is not clear; We could view the role of Cologne to provide the data, with the displays at Cologne being viewed as one among many possible displays provided by other web sites.

A workflow from upstream to downstream is a good idea. UI provided by other web sites should be able to be as up to date as UI at Cologne.

The results they give are even wider than simple search?

Do we understand what is missing for it to work?
