Tags for Words

Hi!

A feature I would find useful at lexicon.ga is a topic field. This way, one would be able to easily find all words related to animals, or locomotion, or geography, etc. I think this could be optional and made as free text (I mean, not like the Parts-of-speech field) because some words could belong to several categories. With a 'search in "topic"' option one can then browse to find related words. This is not very crucial to the dictionary but would be very helpful when revising vocabulary or creating learning materials.

Cheers and thanks for maintaining lexicon.ga,
Sanh

I like this idea! I would probably call this a "tagging" feature instead of topic so people could use it however they want (maybe different language eras or something—I've seen others label things similarly). Either way, this probably would be a very helpful feature.

I'll have to think about it a little bit before I add it, because this could potentially make dictionaries much larger and the app a little bit slower. I'm sure I can figure out a good way to do it so it doesn't slow the app down much, but I'll just have to try some things to be sure.

Thanks for the suggestion!
