2.5. Searching the lexicon

Now that we know how to choose a lexicon and the relevant data category, we can search through the lexicon. For that we are going to use the Search button. Importantly there are three options of searching. These are displayed next to the Search button. The three dots, looking from the left, stand for: “starts with”, “contains” and “ends with” respectively.

The results of the search appear in the Word List Window (this might take a while depending on the size of your lexicon) in such a way that the relevant part of the data category will be visible.
