Hi ,I am a student applying for GSoC 2009. I had an idea of providing inbuilt support for English words found on the dictionary. As far as i have searched i found that there isn't support for dictionary words in boost (please correct me if i am wrong & if i am trying to reinvent the wheel). In many situations i had wanted to have a list af all meaningful english words(inclusive of places & common names of people) , specially in cryptographic applications which include deciphering ciphers & other applications related to words(like finding meaningful words in a random grid of characters) . And I could not find any in-built support for this requirement.I had to write my own algorithm to work on an external list. Thus i think it might be useful. I plan to provide *support for list of all meaningful words . *efficient methods to search if a string is a valid english word. *advanced searched options for checking if a given string is a substring is of any valid english word in an efficient manner. *methods to check if any anagram of a given string is a valid english word. could you tell me if this will be a useful contribution & give suggestions if there can be any other useful feature related to this.. bye kannan
