Forgive me for being rude, but I don't get it. Couldn't I just put quotes around the quote and enter it into Google? Then at least I could cross reference what the other sources are, rather than just having the quantity of possible matches out in the ether.

Andrew, you can find what the other sources are by clicking on the link. As to the use of the program: you can't copy and paste a whole text into Google and put quotes around it to find sources, for two reasons:

- Google has a 10-word limit, so only the first 10-words of the text would be used
- Google doesn't allow pasting multiple lines
- Only parts of a work may be quoted

In other words to do what Quote Finder does, you'd need to copy every single sentence of a text and paste it into the Google box, searching for it manually.... which takes much more time.

Hope this answers it!

I had the same question. You might want to put this in your description of the program. I hadn't planned to use the program again until I saw your response to Andrew's question.

Aw christ. Silly me, I didn't even notice the yellow thing was a link. LOL

I guess I should have made it an underlined link then. I will!
