Search words by morpheme

[eddieantonio]

I want to search for words by their derivational morphemes.

This would involve:

• [ ] importing morphemes in to the database from their sources (in this repo? https://github.com/UAlbertaALTLab/dictionary-database)
• [ ] indexing each head by its morphemes
• [ ] adding a search function that checks if the query matches a morpheme, and augments the search results with all of the heads that contain this morpheme

For example, I want to search words with kisk- in them (memory, recollection, learning, etc.), and it should return

• kiskisiw
• kiskêyihtâsowin
• kiskêyihtam
• kiskahikêw
• etc.

(every word with /-êýiht/ would be awesome too!)

I would also LOVE to have definitions for morphemes (derivational morphemes and roots especially!), but I think that's a different issue.

Currently, the Carleton infrastructure does this, however the results are a bit hard to parse.
