Dear colleagues,

As one who has little background in Vedic studies, but now wishes to conduct 
some lexical research in the Vedic corpus, i would be most grateful for your 
help with two questions:

What are the best ways, if there is a way, to search a given lexical item 
throughout the corpus, or at least a large portion thereof?

What tools would you recommend to trace the evolution in the use of a lexical 
item diachronically throughout the corpus?

These are of course two faces of the same query, but the first concerns the raw 
search for occurrences and the latter seeks historical interpretation. My 
interest lies primarily in the background of a range of terms that later came 
to be used technically in the nyāya schools.

With thanks in advance for shared wisdom,

Matthew
