[developers] Searching treebanks

[Francis Bond]

G'day,

does anyone know of any way to search Redwoods (or DELPHIN treebanks in
general)  for trees of a certain type (using something like the Fangorn
interface).  For example, I want to find how often in the treebank 'start'
is intransitive vs NP V VP-ving  vs NP V VP-to vs NP V VP NP  (I start; I
start lecturing; I start to lecture; I start a lecture).

In fangorn this was "//VP/VB/start[->S/VP/VBG" for NP V VP-ving, ...

I would be ecstatic if there were an online search I can point my students
at, but would be interested in anything.
