I am so glad you asked about this, DM.
As an OT scholar I want to be able to search for any possible combination of lemma and morphology. The possible combinations depend on the structure of the morphology codes. Chris has helpfully listed those for Robinson, but the WHM module will have its own, as will the OpenScriptures Hebrew Bible, when it gets morphology. :) As a practical matter, the first step it seems to me is to have the ability to use wildcards to construct searches without using an interface, just typing the codes. Let's say * is the wildcard. Theoretically I want to be able to search for *@*, but in actual practice obviously elements should be able to be filled in. So if γενεαὶ (from γενεα) is N-NPF (Noun-Nominative Plural Feminine), I may want to search for: *@N-NPF γενεα@Ν-*PF And many other iterations. Maybe I can do that already. But I also want to be able to search for two terms within a certain proximity (two, three words away, for example) or for terms in a particular order (A comes before B, within a certain number of words). Because different morphologies structure the data differently (why Robinson has case and number before gender is beyond me—I learned Gender-Number-Case), any gui search builder would be specific to that morphology.
