Fully-Searchable Dictionary of Islam

The CD contains a fully-searchable, 759-page PDF version of the classic, Dictionary of Islam, by Thomas Patrick Hughes
(New in Version 2.0)

Sophisticated, Fast Searches in Folio Format

The Folio format offers very fast, sophisticated word, phrase, and proximity searching, and allows mixing of search types and counts of the number of "hits" from each element of the search.

Note also that many transliterated Arabic words with a variety of spellings have a search word with standard spelling "hidden" in the text with them, so in this example including "quran" in the search finds "Koran".

Search with Rankings in PDF Format

The PDF version also includes hidden search words, and has a different set of advanced search options, with particular strength in finding related words and doing relevance ranking of results:

Both versions preview search results (see above and below):

Both systems also have an in-depth electronic table of contents allowing you to quickly navigate to a particular section of a book or articles.

Install to Hard Disk for even faster Searches

In addition, The World of Islam - Version 2.0 CD-ROM gives one the option to install the content of the CD to one's hard disk, enabling faster searches without the need of the CD-ROM in the drive.
