Yes, Perseus does. Their site includes a link to download the
Silver Mountain Software font SGreek, and queries can be entered in that
font by setting that as your fixed-width font and setting the perseus
display to "Greek." They have a considerable corpus available for search
- especially classical authors - although the Koine period is also
represented (Plutarch). Queries can be entered both for individual words
and for phrases.
There are a couple of links to Perseus on my web site whose URL
appears below. Look under "Linguistic Resources" or something of the
sort.
