Advanced Full text search
Full text search results are arranged according to their location
(in Phrases and Idioms, Explanations, Examples, Synonyms or Antonyms).
Occurrences are highlighted in a different colour.
For more advanced searches use these symbols:
- 'AND' or '&'
- To find both selected words anywhere in the same entry.
For example, search for entries relating to a theme: 'school AND teacher'
- 'OR' or '|'
- To find any or all of the selected words anywhere in the same entry.
For example try: 'elementary OR secondary'
- '+'
- To find both selected words together in the same entry.
For example, use this feature to search for idioms and phrases: 'brave + face'
- '-'
- To find only the first and not the second word within the same entry.
For example try: 'informal - offensive'
In the Options - Full text dialog you can limit the Full text search to specific locations. For example, you may select only the Explanations field for Full Text search and then enter a search term such as 'hold + sway' to find the explanation of a phrase or idiom.
