This post will be a little different from the other posts on this blog. While the other sites blogged about on this blog have had information on Hamlet, this site is unique. The site is called Shakespeare Searched and although it doesn't give any insight to underlying themes, or study questions, it is to be used for a very specific purpose. The site is set up to search the entire text of the play for a specific word, phrase, or character. For example, if you were to search "young Fortinbras," the site will list all the times in the text where Fortinbras is mentioned. It may not be incredibly intellectual or provide deeper meaning to the play, but sometimes the simplest sites can be the most helpful. I can think of multiple times where I could have used a site like this for a book I was writing an essay on that I needed a specific quote on.
