  Verrrry interesting. The higher the weight, the larger the font?
  The way I'm understanding it, the words that display are those found in the book I selected in the list? I'm not familiar with any of those books, so it's not apparent.
  Thanks,
  Scott

    Yep, the font size increases in proportion to the word's weight within the result set.
    
    The words that are displayed are those found in the selected books, minus those which have been removed by the filters.

        I wrote a little spider (a program that fetches a webpage, extracts all links from the body of the text and follows them if they meet certain conditions) that parses all of the text, removes certain stop words (i.e., the, a, an), and then sticks them into a database along with the number of times each word was found at a particular URL.
        
        I've updated the link above with the PHP source code that displays the data, but I haven't posted the spider. It needs a little work. :)
