"Most of you probably know the Tipitaka.org's search engine. But did you

Thanks. This sounds like the perfect tool for corpus-based inductive Pali
language learning.

I currently find the sentences in the exercise keys of Pali textbooks the
most powerful resource for learning Pali when time is limited. This
search engine allows one to find common word combinations
(collocations) and extend these practice sentences.

The fact that it is open source and extensible makes it even greater.
Thanks.

With metta,
Jon Fernquest
