Have you tried Concordance by Rob Watt for the Windows PC plateform? Is that powerful enough?

[xujiajin]

that demo concordancer is very user-friendly, but doesn't support Chinese. and it is just a demo version. Right? Any good idea of getting a fully functional Chinese-compatible concordancer?

[xujiajin]

Here I quote Xiaoz "Concordance (by Rob Watt, available at http://www.concordancesoftware.co.uk/) can also work with Chinese and other East Asian languages - claims to be work with any language, but have not tried that."

The demo version IS the full version with the only restriction being that it is limited to one month's free use.

It does support Chinese and many other (Asian) languages since it is unicode based. Marjorie Chan has a user guide for working with Chinese texts with Concordance, which I believe was linked to somehwere on this site.

Concordancers and Concordances: Tools for Chinese Language Teaching and Research

Marjorie K.M. Chan

In Journal of the Chinese Language Teachers Association, Volume 37:2. May 2002.

This paper presents an introduction to concordancers, and to the concordancing of Chinese e-texts in particular. Demonstrations are given of searches using spaced and non-spaced source e-texts, with the concordance results presented in Keyword-in-Context (KWIC) display format. There are illustrations to accompany discussions of full-text concordances, and of concordances targeting specific words or phrases. The writer suggests how concordancers might be used in language-teaching and in conducting research on various linguistic phenomena of the Chinese language. An appendix compares several concordancing programs capable of handling Chinese e-texts.
