Add Word Search

Taking this one step further. Could we select a word showing in the key index list and return the sentence/s where that word was used in the text. This could be used if the data base was accessing a document where the user is doing research. Like, show me the sentence where the jimmywhatsit (keyword in index list) component is used in a text about photon torpedoes.

Absolutely. Would be a cool project. You'd have to break it up and not only index the words but also the sentences they're in. Yeah, it's definitely doable.

	John Schreiber OP @Reply 10 months ago
Will you be looking into a Tech help to show how to do this?

	Richard Rost @Reply 10 months ago
It's definitely well beyond the scope of the TechHelp video, I could possibly add this to a future developer lesson.

	John Schreiber OP @Reply 10 months ago
That would be great. You have my vote for that.
