It is possible. One way you can do it is to search for this:

sword @source:cv

(cv is the code for Cleasby/Vigfusson; bt is Bosworth/Toller, etc.)

Or, you can do a search, then click on a word in the entry. A range of more limited searches will be given.

I took away the "Advanced Searches" page because it looked from the server logs as though hardly anybody used it, but I can put it back if there's general interest.
