[Corpora-List] Matching software

[Nigel Bruce]

I am looking for software that will operate a match between input text - up 
to 2,000 words, say - and a corpus in a similar manner to Turnitin 
-  except that I will build and control the relevant d-bases the programme 
will use.
Another key difference is that whereas Turnitin searches for matches of 
strings of over 7 words between input and d-base, I'm looking for "match 
failure" of either 2 or 3 words between input and d-base.
I guess you could say I'm looking for an engine that will give me Turnitin 
in reverse, picking up the absence of a match between input and corpus, and 
colour-coding it.
Any suggestions appreciated.
