Subject: Re: [Oppiliappan] url correction to previous message


> I opened the pages, but there was no provision for enlarging the display
to a size where I could make out the letters and words clearly.  Can you
kindly educate me on this?  Also, is there a search capability, to locate
the words that one is interested in?
>
On size:
It depends on the browser, nevertheless I have modified it so it should
show up in a full-size regardless.

On search:
Currently, you would need to thumb through it as a book i.e.
(I am providing a wordy and detailed example for the
sake of completness)
A sanskrit newbie/english speaker looking for the word ranga
would first look at the Dictionary order of nAgari letters in
http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/ebooks/mw/0000/mw__0033.html
than trying to find the section from the main index in
http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/ebooks/mw/index.html
would recognize that ranga is in section 0800 between
words bhaikshuka ~ randhragata i.e bh m y 'r' l and will click on
http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/ebooks/mw/0800/
than scroll down the word list and  ascertain that ranga would
be between rakta-phala and raja i.e. k kh g gh 'n' c and click
on the url associated with rakta-phala i.e.
http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/ebooks/mw/0800/mw__0895.html
and look through the page to find ranga

However, there are two web services where you can search by
entering a word i.e.
http://acharya.iitm.ac.in/sanskrit/dictionary/
and by letter section
http://homepages.comnet.co.nz/~r-mahoney/mw_dict/mw_dict.html

Thanks
