Context Retrieval for eE Online Concordance


Retrieval is by item id or Epage (indented on second line for each result), and item id needs to be quoted exactly--use your browser "back" feature to recheck, if necessary:

Examples of "Submit Query" instructions (note the occasional "\." ):

J6\. (gets Jerusalem, plate 6)
J60 (gets Jerusalem, plate 60)
FZ1-6 (gets The Four Zoas, page 6 [which is in Night 1])
L4\. (gets Letter no. 4)
L51 (gets Letter no. 51)
TheTyger (gets "The Tyger" plus drafts)
E74\| (gets page 74 of printed Erdman text - note "\|")
E744 (gets page 744 of printed Erdman text)
note1\. (gets first line of note 1)
note103\. (gets first line of note 103)
note1003 (gets first line of note 1003 - note absence of "\.")
VDA (gets all of Visions of the Daughters of Albion)
ED-front (gets front matter for Erdman edition and eE)

The reason for some of the difficulty above is that matching digits can be tricky--J6 will also match J60, J61 etc., E4 will match E408, etc.; so, to help the kludgy perl search script, delimit numbers with fewer units than maximum possible for particular index (hence J6\. [not needed for J60] or L4\. [not needed for L40] or E4\| [not needed for Epages over 99-- and note, the \| delimiter is only for such single or double digit E pages]).
For textual notes, prefix number from "t" id (e.g. <t103>) with "note"--e.g.: note103\. (not needed for note1030 or any note over 199); where a note continues over one line, return to this screen and access whole note text by its Epage location (E796 for note103\.). ED (editoral) notes and TXT context for annotations are also accessible through Epage location--indeed, a non-delimited E will retrieve the entire 3mb eE source file. Improvements to the tagging and to the search options are in preparation.
