You might try my site [view.byu.edu], which is based on the 100m word
BNC.  You can do simple searches like:

[aj0] [nn*]	
[nn1] [nn*]	
etc

You can also compare across registers, for example [aj0] [nn*] that are
more common in fiction than academic, medical vs other non-fiction, etc.

Note that because of the number of matching strings, the queries might
take a while -- as much as four our five seconds for a given query.

Any questions, please feel free to email me.
