Thomas Abthorpe 1fe85dfab6 Xaira is an XML Aware Indexing and Retrieval Application
designed to allow fast access to large corpora marked up
in XML.

Xaira is the current name for a new version of SARA, the text
searching software originally developed at OUCS for use with
the British National Corpus.

This new version has been entirely re-written as a general
purpose XML search engine, which will operate on any corpus
of well-formed XML documents. It is however best used with
TEI-conformant documents.

Xaira has full Unicode support. This means you can use it to
search and display text in any language, provided you have a
suitable Unicode font installed on your system.
