Yes, anyone can access it: [DAVIES] Variation in English Words and Phrases (VIEW)
It queries the British National Corpus, and has a very good interface and is very fast. They did once ask me to register, but I have changd computers and countries and not been asked to do so again. I have used it freely for a number of years and throughly recommend it.
