The word index lets you browse through concordances of words that
occur in works, selecting values as you go to add to a search query
that you can then submit at any time.

with similar words above and below it in alphabetical order. If
your word does not exist, the list will highlight the next closest
word in the middle.

browse list will begin with the first word in the index beginning

next or previous 10 words in the index (any currently selected
words will be remembered).
- Click the "get selected items" button to submit the
search.
