Description: Compute the frequency distribution of a search term in a
        series of texts. For example, Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a total
        of 60 Sherlock Holmes stories, comprised of 54 short stories
        and 4 longer novels. I wanted to test my own subjective
        impression that, in many of the stories, Sherlock Holmes'
        popularity was used as bait to induce the reader to read a
        story that is essentially not primarily a Sherlock Holmes
        story. I used the term "Holmes" as a search pattern, since
        Watson would frequently address him by name, or use his name to
        describe something that he was doing. My hypothesis is that the
        frequency distribution of the search pattern "Holmes" is a good
        proxy for the degree to which a story is or is not truly a
        Sherlock Holmes story. The results are presented in a
        manuscript that is available as a vignette and online at
        <https://barryzee.github.io/Concordance/index.html>.
