    Dear list members

    Many thanks for the feedback on the WebCorp search tool. We
    are taking all your comments and suggestions into account in the
    ongoing development of the tool.

    A number of users have commented that it would be useful to display the
    web address (URL) for each page accessed. This option is actually
    already available by selecting either 'Only for concordance matches' or
    'Always' under 'Display URLs:'. The default value has now been changed
    so that URLs (addresses) are shown for each concordance match.

    In the prototype version, WebCorp accesses a restricted number of the
    chosen search engine's results pages. This is why you may find fewer
    hits returned by WebCorp than are returned by accessing the search
    engine directly. This restriction is imposed whilst the tool is in
    development to minimise network traffic and the time taken
    for results to be returned.

    If you have any further comments or suggestions about WebCorp,
    please use the feedback form on the WebCorp site or send an email
    message direct to andrew@rdues.liv.ac.uk
