[bt-devel] 31295 - saving search to disk

Hey Mark,

I'm really happy you want to help.

Yes, I think so. But since everybody who has BT installed can view HTML we 
should create a HTML file.

My thoughts: a header section with some general information (e.g. search 
string, searched modules, range, matching algorithm, maybe date and username),
then a table with the search analysis (columns represent bible books, rows 
represent modules; maybe some additional values like %of all matches etc.)
And a footer with created by BibleTime Version on Date on Machine or similar. 
Just let your fantasy play...

I just saw this saves to text files. Could you please change this to HTML 
too? Maybe even featuring the red markup for matches?

Well if you have a simple way which looks good then place them on the graph 
too. But it is not really necessary because the tooltip solution is very good 
imo. If modules are searched parallel it might become difficult imo.

once again thanks for you help,
blessings,
