This searches through 402,207 English that have been proofread and put on List 907.
This uses a "quick search" CGI that I wrote in 1997.
This was originally meant to be a temporary thing until tatoeba.org got its search engine back online.
However, this allows searches limited to the 400,000+ proofread English sentences, a search that isn't yet possible on tatoeba.org, so I've decided to leave it online for a while.
If this overloads my server, I'll have to take it offline.
