Nice work! (although it would be nice to wave the requirement of 
username/password for searches)

Can you give some examples?

Generally speaking, HebMorph's strength is with modern texts. Tanach is

by the dictionary at its base. This can all be tuned of course, but it 
may be the issue that you're seeing.
