That would allow searches by subject, title, author, language, etc.  I realize this would be a lot more useful, but my time available for Python programming is just a few hours a week.  If I can get 80% of the benefit for 20% of the work that's what I'll do first.

Usually the title would help, but cases like this where the title is the same in any translation are a significant minority, and I believe that either showing it or allowing to restrict searches by language should be useful. </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
