How can I find the list of words starting with a particular alphabet or particular phrase using JWI MIT interface(http://projects.csail.mit.edu/jwi/) from WordNet API(http://wordnet.princeton.edu/). Any Idea, how to achieve this?

  • Ok! I just implemented JWI in my swing app. I don't think JWI provide anything to perform a search for words using a phrase/fragement. all you can do is let the user enter a word, then your program search for its meaning in wordnet and if meaning was found, show it to user else display a message to user that requested word was not found.! because I have been searching for a solution on how to perform search in wordnet using JWI, for like 16 Hours now, all I found is a few posts with no replies. – ashu Dec 08 '14 at 16:43

JWI does not provide anything like this but you can always use Full Text Search techniques to achieve this kind of functionality. There are many libraries providing indexing and text searching functionality.

I have personally used Lucene and SqlLite in Dot.Net C# for indexing and full text search but you can also use them in java and other programming languages.
