Curtis Hinson's B-Greek search engine for Firefox can be found at:
http://curtishinson.com/firegreek.txt
Alternatively there's an engine available at the Mozilla site for
search-engines in the Humanities:
http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html?name=B-greek&submitform=Search
That's for Firefox (IMHO the best browser now for any platform). But
if you're using somethng else, here's an alternative provided a
couple years ago by Kathleen Creager (don't know if she's still with
us, but we're grateful for this):
I don't know what happened to the archives search button, but this is
the
command to do what it did. Just paste the following (all one line) into
your browser as the URL, and type in what you want to search for at
the end
after the last equal sign, and then press Enter.

That's pretty awkward with the word wrap. Here's the same in a Tiny
URL version:

This will take you to a page with a search box in which you can enter
what you're looking for and then click.
