CUSTOMIZED WORDLISTS

NOTE: This is being displayed in a separate window so that you can use the "customized wordlists" interface in the lower right-hand frame.

"User lists" or "customized lists" are word lists that you create -- relating to a certain topic  (e.g. sports, clothing, or emotions), words that are grammatically related (e.g. a certain subset of adverbs or pronouns), or any other listing that you might want.  For example, click here to run a query based on two sample word lists that we created -- one with a list of colors, and the other with a short list of parts of clothing.

There are two ways of creating customized lists:
1. Create a list "from scratch" via the interface in the lower right-hand frame (click here if it's not visible).
2. Run a query (such as synonyms of beautiful) and then save some of the words from the results set as a list. (More information...)

You can later view the lists that you have created, and modify the wordlist (add or delete words), or delete a list entirely. Once you are ready to work with these customized wordlists, use the interface in the lower right-hand frame (click here if it's not visible).

Once created, you can re-use a wordlist in queries at any time in the future -- they remain stored in the database on the server. The easiest way to include a list in the main search window is to just select it in the wordlist window. If desired, you can also type it into the search form directly. The format is:

     [yourUsername:listName]
e.g.:
     [david_jones:foods]
     [Sally.Brown:emotions]

You can also use the list as part of a phrase:
     was quite [Alice.Thompson:beautiful]
     [like].[v*] to [bill_thomas:sports]
