To search the corpus, enter a query in the text box. A query is the text that you want to match,
and can include one or more words. Wildcards can be used.
Wildcards
To match 'any single character', use the ? wildcard
For example, ?at will match cat, hat, mat and so on.
To match 'any part-word', use the * wildcard inside a word
For example, th* will match the, this, there, therefore and so on.
To take another example, m*r will match motor, member, minor and so on.
To match 'any single word', use the * wildcard surrounded by spaces
For example, the * house will match the big house, the nice house and so on.
To match 'up to two words', use the ** wildcards all surround by spaces
For example, the ** house will match the very big house, the vicar's house and so on.
To match 'up to three words', use the *** wildcard in a similar fashion.
