In a concordance, to blank out the search-words with asterisks, just press the spacebar (or choose View | Blanked out). Press it again to restore them.
The point of it…
A blanked-out concordance is useful when you want to create an exercise. This one has give and put mingled:
... could not ********** me the time ...
... Rosemary, ********** me another ...
... would not ********** much for that ...
... could not ********** up with him ...
... so you'll ********** him a present ...
... will soon ********** up smoking ...
... he should ********** it over here ...
Concord will give equal space to the blanks so that the size of the blank doesn't give the game away.
