Hi Martin! By trial and error, I finally made it, and the results are exactly the same as yours! (except for the straightforward binomial hits -- mine is 22794, and yours is 22799. This is just because you used "N..", and I used "NN." for the search of nouns, and it is not a big deal.) I have one last question: why do you use ?* (instead of * alone) in "?* and " and " ?*"? I tried both, and didn't find any difference.
