FEAT(+): For each word, user can see a list of words having similar patterns of use

This idea comes from Ted Underwood, “How to make the Google dataset work for humanists,” August 25, 2012:
Instead of plugging in words one by one to identify a pattern, I would like to be able to enter a seed word, and ask for a list of words that correlate with it across a given period, sorted by degree of positive (or inverse) correlation.
I suspect the math for this is more complex than I can manage, and it needs a big corpus to be actually informative, but I like the idea of it.
