Requests
Search by onomatopoeia or descriptive sounds
From 1 comment
it's a bit tongue in cheek :-) and I agree, searching for ... "sounds" in descriptive/onomatopoeia-like language would be great!

Word statistics or word cloud instead of search
From 2 comments
I feel it would be more interesting to show statistics about the words used rather than search.
tym0 on HNIf you dig a tiny bit in the devtools, you’ll see the sqlite file that’s loaded in the frontend with all of the data :) A word cloud or some stats is a great idea!

correct! it's a sqlite database which ends up being automatically gzip'd by the github cdn aka fastly - this ends up being ~4mb over the wire obviously this solution doesn't…
