/** Try to do something useful after search, still provides guesses even on successful full-text search, just for testing ;)

This is just to check the usefulness of aspell for the task - I want to try some language guesswork as aspell can't support multiple scripts simultaneously

The spell checker is kindly hosted on User:Amgine's server at http://devtionary.org/wiki/

The aspell there only has English, though this can (and I have tested) be extended trivially to support most other common languages (see http://aspell.net/ )

This will need installing as a PHP extension of some kind as this method is too inefficient - though it is possible that keeping the aspell on a seperate server from the PHP and doing inter server communication will be a good idea.



function javascript_aspell{

var word = false; var ip = false; var el = false;

if(el = document.getElementById('powerSearchText') ){ word = el.value; ip = document.getElementById('search'); }else if(el = document.getElementById('searchbox') ){ ip = el; inps = el.getElementsByTagName('input'); for(var i=0;i<inps.length;i++){ if( inps[i].className == 'searchboxInput' ) word = inps[i].value } }

if(!ip || !word) return false;

var url = 'http://devtionary.info/cgi-bin/wikt/spell.py?format=wiki&wiki=en.wiktionary&langs=en,*&word='+encodeURIComponent(word); var iframe = document.createElement('iframe'); iframe.setAttribute('src',url); iframe.style.cssText = 'border:none; width: 400px; height: 80px' ip.parentNode.insertBefore(iframe,ip.nextSibling);

}

$(javascript_aspell);
