For example, Linggle v. death penalty to find verb collocates of death penalty. The results are on par with what is available in a collocation dictionary.
>>> linggle "v. death penalty"
1. 4521|12.41% face death penalty

8. 1066|2.93% facing death penalty
9. 1009|2.77% limiting death penalty
10. 947|2.60% seeks death penalty
...Linggle uses a simple strategy to handle queries that involve parts of speech. Yet, POS can be ambiguous at times, leading to less than perfect results when it comes to POS queries. For example, the query v. difficulty returns learning difficulty as the top result, while play n. brings back play station! In fact, both should be classified as NN.
There are other problems with using a simple search query like v. difficulty: missing verbal phrase (run into) and a lack of information related to articles in the retrieved phrases. For this, it would be better to use a slightly more complex query, e.g., pron. v. ?prep. ?det. difficulty. Here pron. is added so that v. can match a real verb (instead of seemingly correct verbs like learning). The optional POS wildcard ?prep. after v. allows phrasal verbs(e.g., run into) to be found. The ?det. before difficulty allows us to find the use of articles.
