[sword-devel] phrasal concordance

[Jeremy Bickel]

Hello all.  I really hope this is the right place for this.  If not, please forgive me. :-D

What about a hard coded (smallish, if possible) concordance of every sized phrase in any book (Genesis, Ruth, Josephus, etc.), from 1 to x words (where 1 word phrases would be a traditional concordance)?  Then this could be used, for instance, to quickly identify similarities of text.  A 20 word long phrase in a single book (that's doesn't go between books), found in multiple places, perhaps in multiple books, might shed light on significant phrases, which light might be otherwise obscure.

On a first look, this might not seem important, because a search is already incorporated into Sword.  But in thinking about this a while, I can see very good possibility with it.

Thanks.
