`compare_editions`Compare the Pali Canon's editions line by line: the Mahāsaṅgīti beside Buddha Jayanti (Sri Lanka), Chaṭṭha Saṅgāyana (Myanmar), Siam Rath (Thailand), the printed Mahāsaṅgīti of 2005 and the PTS editions (the whole canon; gaps: PTS has no Netti or Peṭakopadesa, of the Jātaka the verses only, of the later books only what PTS printed; Siam Rath has no Pātimokkha (the Mahāmakuṭa Pātimokkha stands in its place, pli-tv-bu-pm); the Mahāsaṅgīti of 2005 lacks a few passages of the later books. Details: https://dhamma.gift/docs/compare). Give a sutta ("sn56.11"), a line ("dn22:18.1") or a range ("sn56.11:5.1-5.4"). The answer starts with a summary per edition (name, license, lines present, missing, differing), then the lines where some edition reads differently, each with the differing words. Case, punctuation and ṁ/ṃ are not counted as differences.

`get_text`Fetch a sutta by id (e.g. "dn22", "mn1", "sn56.11") — the Pali text (Mahāsaṅgīti) of every segment. Pali only by default; pass langs for translations, translators to name a translator (e.g. ["en_sujato"]), editions for the whole text of other Pali editions line by line (the whole canon, see compare_editions).

`search`Search the Pali Canon on dhamma.gift by keyword/substring or REGEX (min 3 letters, no semantic search).

Returns a CENSUS of every matching sutta — id, title, match count, metaphor count, reader link — Pali only, ordered so that suttas that DEFINE the term come first, then ones NAMED after it, then by how often it occurs. Set include_segments for the matched Pali lines, include_translations (+ langs) for translations. 40 suttas by default (25 by occurrence count, plus 15 for suttas named after the term and ones defining it); metadata.totalFiles reports the true count, and limit takes a number or "all".
