The web-search option presented at http://webcorp.connect.org.uk/ is
indeed useful. I tried a search for "subletted", and got 31 hits (with the
AltaVista search option), nicely presented in a concordance. But I wonder
why it didn't give 91 hits, which is the number AltaVista found for me when
I used their search engine directly. I also tried the Metacrawler, which,
surprisingly, gave only 26 hits.
Since this is only a prototype, I would like to suggest two improvements:
1. Include as an option the search engine FAST,
http://www.ussc.alltheweb.com/, which gave 111 hits (20 more than Alta
Vista)
2. Display the web-address-source for each hit.
