Still one of the lamest search engines on the Web.

"somer*" returns no hits at all. "Somerset" over the date range
1650-99 returns a couple thousand. Ahhh, what a useful serach engine!

And also, it's unclear to me but it seems that it's impossible to
specify that a search happen within a certain document. Am I missing
something?
