Hello,

with the program?

Marie-Odile, the CD release is experimental so far. We are looking for ways
to improve it. If we can make it easier for Cheyennes to locate headwords
(and, hopefully, also retain display of semantic closeness by dictionary
location closeness), we want to do that. There is no search engine on the
CD. The dictionary is just a Microsoft Word document exported from Shoebox.
The user searches the dictionary just as they do any printed dictionary.

I like your idea of having the search engine be powerful enough to give
options when multiple search results are possible.

Dear Wayne,
I realize the CD is already released, but for the next edition, you might
consider designing a search engine that would automatically recognize the
prefixes and pull out the verb, and, in case of multiple results, offer
options available in an interactive fashion ("were you looking for the verb
XX  or YY, or for the noun ZZ ?")
