I'd like to use Google as a monolingual corpus to generate KWIC (keyword in context) lists. So far I only found one tool that allows me to that--WebCorp (http://www.webcorp.org.uk/) which has several limitations that I don't like. Does anybody know any other tools or scripts that could be used for this purpose?

Hi Olaf
Many years ago I used WebCorp and even wrote about it (for the ATA), but it was limited by its slowness, although it seems to have improved somewhat. Have you tried the advanced search features?

Rollyo: you can create your own restricted search engine, limited to specific sites. www.rollyo.com/
PERC: a true corpus available online, but pre-built. http://www.corpora.jp/~perc04/
There's another way of compiling a quick corpus on the basis of keywords, Webbootcat, but it's not free and you need a concordancer to be able to search the texts (although it's possibly got an online concordance feature). http://www.sketchengine.co.uk/
There's also Corpis-Eye, but you can't concordance the web, just limited, specific parts of it: http://corp.hum.sdu.dk/cqp.en.html
Although that's about the limits of my knowledge, if you gave more details of what you want to achieve, I could maybe be more precise.

Yes, I did, but it didn't make a difference. Unfortunately, WebCorp doesn't seem to support queries for languages using non-Latin alphabets.
I'll check out the other links that you mentioned.
Thanks,
Olaf

PERC: I should have mentioned that it's an English language corpus. Also Corpis-Eye.
Seems to me that Rollyo might be the best option. And maybe Webbootcat.
With the first one, you can select URLs to roll your own search engine. You get a Google-like display (not a KWIC) with the search term highlighted.
With the second one, you enter keywords, then select from the URLs that result, and these are used to ctreate a corpus in TXT format that you can concordan... See more PERC: I should have mentioned that it's an English language corpus. Also Corpis-Eye.
