Sutta Search
Dhammatalk Search
This is a project where it is understood or is to be hoped that it will be understood to not be of much use as it stands. It is being placed on the site with the idea that it is a suggestion, but in order for the material that is completed to be available to future generations while not imposing the stress of a deadline to complete it on myself, it is being put up in its most advanced state. It will be updated periodically, but is not being presented as a finished or even very useful work at this point.
—p.p.
This is a simple book-style search tool which can be used to find materials on this site that are not subjects of actual suttas. Subjects about the Dhamma dealing with a large variety of subjects relating to the Buddha's teaching.
A book-style index was decided upon over that of a computer-style search tool (e.g., Googgle) as a consequence of the observation that most people cannot find what they are looking for unless they know the exact wording which will bring them there. Here the user is expected to browse the content of the index to find wording likely to bring him to what he seeks. A further advantage to a book-style index is the discovery of many subjects unthoughtof before; something entirely missing from computer searches.
For an Index of subjects and proper names found directly in the suttas or their introductry essays or footnotes, see Sutta Search. For a dictionary of Pāḷi terms see this site's version of the Pāḷi Text Society's 
Pāḷi-English Dictionary. The full 2-volume edition of the Dictionary of Pāḷi Proper Names [DPPN] is available in ![[DPPN]](../../resources/images/pdf.gif "[DPPN]"){kind=small}
