Shakespeare
Shakespeare finds a line from the words you remember, as you type. “to be or not” finds Hamlet 3.1.56. “wherefor art thou romeo” finds Romeo and Juliet 2.2.33, typo and all. A line remembered across two lines comes back as one result: “we are such stuff as dreams are made of” finds The Tempest 4.1.156-157, where the play says “made on”.
Modern words reach the old ones, so “you” finds thou and thee, and “has” finds hath. Lines that keep your words in your order rank higher.
A reference goes straight to its line: “hamlet 3.1.56”, “ham 3.1” or “sonnet 18”. speaker:juliet keeps only Juliet’s lines, and in:tempest only that play’s. Stage directions are searchable too, so “exit pursued by a bear” finds The Winter’s Tale 3.3.58. Open a result to read the scene around it.
