A new resource when searching for canon

My dad just alerted me to a new Harry Potter resource, 
http://www.potterindex.com/.  The site has indexed every word in the 
US editions (they're working on the UK versions) into a searchable 
database (also includes Fantastic Beasts and Quidditch Through the 
Ages).  It provides results by book and page number.

Here are some quotations from the site:

"The Potter Index contains a complete catalog of every word and 
phrase in every Harry Potter book. This site does not display the 
Harry Potter books in any way. What it does do is let you enter 
specific search criteria and tells you exactly where this text can 
be found in the Harry Potter books."

"Please do not hesitate to put the Potter Index through its paces, 
testing it against words or phrases in your Harry Potter books. 
Please let us know if the system fails any of your tests!"

Forgive me if this has been mentioned before, but I searched HPfGU 
back about 6 months and didn't see any reference to it.

I have no financial or other interest in the site (except to use it 
for finding canon, of course).  My dad heard about it because he has 
a grad degree in information science and one of his colleagues 
emailed a group he's in about this new resource for teachers.

Let the searching begin!
