GoldenDict Forum

Appeal again for wildcard and full text search.

GD is really very cool.
Any specific schedule or plan for these two functions?

It seems as if that for real users, instead of dictionary collectors, those two functions are really very important.
I would like to pay some money for the software if it has these two functions.

Well, as for FTS, we had that deal with Tvangeste, ping him

Yes indeed, full text search is the only really useful function lacking in Goldendict. A full-text Boolean or regex search across multiple dictionaries would make Goldendict absolutely the best dictionary application available.

Hi,

here is a temporary solution for those who need full-text search: http://lisok3ajr.wordpress.com/2012/09/ ... oldendict/
It works with the latest builds of GoldenDict. Search is performed by a simple external program.

Hi,
I couldn't help but try it right away. I followed the guidelines on the linked page, downloaded the Python Windows Installer, not without some hesitation, and the whole thing is working!
Thanks lisok3ajr for taking up this fascinating challenge!
Kind regards

There is some plugin to enable GoldenDict full-text-search for StarDict type dictionaries.
See viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1504#p9604

Really very good news.
Hope these functions could be embedded into the goldendict software.
