By coincidence, there is also a review of concordancers applied to
Arabic texts in
Roberts, Andrew; Al-Sulaiti, Latifa; and Atwell, Eric. 2006.
aConCorde: Towards an Open-Source, Extendable Concordancer for Arabic.
To appear in issue 1.1 of the new journal CORPORA, see
http://www.eup.ed.ac.uk/journals/content.aspx?pageId=1&journalId=12505
We compare Arabic concordance via "market leaders" MonoConc, Wordsmith,
and Xaira with aConCorde, our free open-source concordancer; for more
details see http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/arabic
- naturally, I would encourage you to use aConCorde!
(and to subscribe to CORPORA :-)
