I had a thought while sentence mining this morning.  Wouldnt it be useful to be able to search for multiple entries and have all instances of them highlighted in a text file?

This could be very useful for JLPT studying. You could input a list of 6000+ JLPT 2 words and have every instance of them highlighted in, say, a video game script that you found online.

This would really help me focus my sentence mining.  I would be able to study material that I find interesting, and be systematic about focusing on the material that will be on the test at the same time. 

Does anyone know how this could be done?  I don`t know a lick of programming, so if it is not possible with current software I`m just putting the idea out there.

What do you think?

It looks like you want a new firefox extension.

Actually, it has been already done. Check the level checkers from the Reading Tutor.

IIRC Wakan allows this. I may be wrong though.

Is (I think) a bit similar to what you're trying to do. You put in whatever Japanese word/kanji/sentence and it searches the web for uses of it.

If you are going to be using a text file, then there are hundreds of different text editors available, and I'm sure at least one of them would have this feature.

It could probably be done with a spreadsheet as well.
