search methods which interact automatically!
)he incremental search in the head8ord 6ist sorts all headwords from all boos
in the search area alphabetically% "t is incremental because the highlighting reacts
immediately to each letter eyed and moves automatically to the first matching
headword 3alphabetically7 in the list% /epending on the search item, it is often
sufficient Hust to ey a few letters to find the relevant headword in the list% -or
e#ample, if you are looing up laender you only need to ey lav for the word to
appear in the headword list%
)he f6e>i-search tries to recognise inflected forms 3e%g% $gone$ or $went$7 and
trace them bac to their root form in e&dictionaries specially set up for this%
Compounds are broen down into their component parts wherever possibleK for
e#ample, if you loo up the German $Bierflasche$, the headwords "ier and
#lasche are offered%
"n addition to the main headwords, the e>tended search also includes so&called
sub&headwords, for e#ample words not occurring first in multi&word entries such
as $bladder$ in the headword gall bladder or $+sten$ in the German headword
$ahe%r& 'sten.
With the fu66-te>t search the entire dictionary te#t is scanned in addition to the
headwords% )his means that words are found which are not even listed as a
headword in the dictionary%
