Dear corpus linguists

Following feedback on our WebCorp tool we have now launched a 'lite'
version for single word searches.  This can be found at
http://www.webcorp.org.uk/wclite.html

This new version has fewer options than the standard WebCorp but
returns results more quickly.  As before, these results give
examples of usage from the web, with the search word highlighted
within a variable length context.

The original WebCorp tool is still available, providing the wider range
of options for more complex, multi-word searches.  We would appreciate
your feedback on both versions of the tool to enable us to adapt
WebCorp to your needs in future versions.
