===== Google like search =====

  - "Search for": this would be for the general public. The user could put in partial info (author, title, etc.) but in order not to have everything and the kitchen sink come up, we could limit what would appear to 4 categories that are hyperlinked (for starters): titles, biography; bibliography; occurrences in database (this would be everything!)
  - Database gives some suggestion, what could be meant, if entry is ambivalent, misspelled or not unique
     -e.g. do you mean author "Avicenna" or .... or the title "Avi...."
  - Reader selects one of the suggested entries
