user191: I'm wondering if there exist any English subtitle search engines that allow to find out what anime a certain line of dialogue was spoken in. This could greatly help identify anime, if a certain specific phrase is all you can remember. 
There is currently a somewhat useful way of searching subs using Google: add filetype:srt, filetype:ssa or filetype:ass to the search query to only look within the files of the according format. But Google isn't allmighty and the results are very incomplete. Is there a better alternative?

user191: One way is to download a lot of subtitles and search through them at home.
Sites with lots of subs:

basically just google "anime subtitle archive" and sort by size, descending
