Before and after



A simple search of all words occurring immediately before and after a target expression - usually a single word.

The result is something like a concordance, but all (up to 220 of each) of the neighbors are show sorted by frequency. More common neighbors closer to the target.

Each of the neighbors is a hyperlink to a new Before and after search with the neighbor moved to the center.

Here's an example from the barb sanders dream set.

The target is "station".



Note the many senses of station that are displayed.

More generic words have more neighbors.
