I hope to work out a more impressive search engine one of these days, but this will do the trick for now. Note that some entries may appear more than once: for instance, when they're found in both a regular page and the What's New page. Send comments and questions to jlynch@andromeda.rutgers.edu.
Be sure your query is a single word (combinations don't yet work), and note that the search engine automatically truncates words: "Scot" will find Sir Walter Scott, Scotland, Scottish, and so on.
You should also be sure to search the relevant subject pages: an author whose name doesn't appear here may well receive coverage on another page.
