It really depends on what you want to do. TMLookup is a very useful tool, and allows you to search on large translation memories (or even monolingual files, as suggested).
However, IMHO AntConc is better if what you are trying to do is to search for collocations, n-grams etc: that's what a concordancer is for. [/quote]
Dear Riccardo,
Hi. Thank you for the comment. You're right, but the main problem with AntConc is the issues of SPEED and SIZE limitations! AntConc gets unusably slow or fails completely with large files or massive overall corpus size.
Yours,
Danesh
