New search engine for Shakespeareans
Shakespeare Searched is a search engine for (you guessed it) Shakespeare's plays and sonnets. You can use it to see how many times a word shows up in all of Shakespeare's works, or in a single play, or in the speeches of a single character.
But what really sets it apart is the "clustering" feature, which sorts your search results by finding groups of words that occur together more than once. Do a search for "music," for instance, and you'll find that the word most closely associated with it in Shakespeare's plays is "love," and the play with the most references to music is King Lear (click the "Works" tab to see your results by play). Try it out the next time you're working on an assignment on Shakespeare!
