Here's the reference sources I find myself using over and over for both Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. (Take the time to put these prominently on your bookmarks bar, and preset them for your most common ranges):
desktop editions of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake
(much more flexible than concordances or online editions)
Fweet
includes regular expressions, annotations (FW only)
Wiktionary
multilingual, so especially good for FW
Onelook
wildcard search of multiple reference sites
the 1909 Dublin map
for Ulysses
the 1901 census
for Ulysses, lots of subtle uses (eg religion, occupation, street address)
GoogleBooks
chaotic but huge
Hathi books
much crisper but narrower
ngrams
track phrase origins
CopyPaste
special characters, quick and easy
GoogleKeep
for chunks of text you reuse
PowerThesaurus
nice design
also: zamzar.com is easy for all kinds of file format conversions
