Would an electronic search of Hamlet turn up every possible phrase in which every word Shakespeare used in Hamlet could properly be used in Elizabethan English (or which he himself used in his collected works)?

Your question doesn't make sense. We deal in actual text from the Hebrew Bible here, not hypothetical phrases concocted out of someone's head. An electronic search of Hamlet would either turn up or not turn up the phrase we were looking for, depending on whether he used it there or not. That's what this list is for: dealing with the language of the Hebrew Bible as we have received it, and seeking to understand it. I really don't know what it is you're trying to do with these contextless questions, words and phrases.
