Search The Collected Works of Shakespeare

You will need to enter three items. The first is the number of lines of context, the second is the search term, and the third is the target. Either of the last two may be Perl regular expressions. So to find the word `estimate' in the sonnets and print the sonnet, you would enter a query for 14 lines of context with the search term estimate on the target sonnets.

The target may be a (possibly partial) name of a play, or `comedies,' `histories,' or `tragedies.'
