All the https://publicdomainreview.cloudant.com links give "Service unavailable".

Ah shucks, Cloudant seems to have suspended operations after it was acquired by IBM. Is this dictionary useful to you? Then you could try self-hosting.

Luckily I was sharp enough to commit the raw data and indexing code in the repo. Search was useful because Cloudant had a built-in Lucene engine.

I'm thinking about making the dictionary completely client-side using ElasticLunr so it could just be statically hosted. Drawback is that the client would need to download the entire dictionary (<2.5MB zipped doesn't seem too bad, but KBs may be expensive in the Philippines...)

I was working on a Lunr analyzer before I got overwhelmed and had to reduce my number of side projects. J. Hellingman has made a very capable stemmer in Java, which isn't too hard to port to JS. Edit: I've already written the stemmer in this repo, but it needs to be adapted to a Lunr analyzer. But I can remember the exact details, it's been 4 years. 😬

I was mostly looking what kind of resources are available and came across your GitHub page. But Jeroen Hellingman has a search function online: http://www.bohol.ph/wced.php?sw=salamat&lang=All

It's ok, I know how you feel. I wanted to open an issue just in case but the repo looked dormant and I honestly wasn't expecting a reply.
