| Using the Dictionary Search |
Standard Search:
- The Standard search allows you to enter one or more terms to search for entries.
SoundEx Search:
- The SoundEx search uses a simple implementation of the SoundEx algorithm to find strings phonetically similar to your entry. You cannot use Boolean keywords or wildcards.
- SoundEx is best used when you don't know the exact spelling an of entry, or have an alternate spelling. (For example, a search for "Akhilleus" will return "Achilles.")
Results:
- The number of entries to display.
- A smaller result set will generally result in faster querying.
Media:
- This option determines whether the Dictionary will lookup pictures and movies relating the an entry.
- Media searches take very little time, so you may as well leave it on (unless you have something against pictures and movies).
