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.
