search for English words in the definitions and the translations, in the main dictionary, you would use a to display matches in alphabetical order,įor example, in moon+ reader, if you wanted to perform reverse searches, i.e.I to apply i-umlaut variations to the search term (a/e á/æ o/ø,e ó/œ,æ ö/ø u/y ú/ý jó/ý jú/ý au/ei) when searching headwords (Note: enabling i-umlaut changes automatically enables alternates/u-umlaut changes),.A to apply alternate characters to the search term (œ/æ, ø/e, and u-umlaut) when searching headwords,.F to search the list of inflected forms (when it exists),.d to search historical/cultural/misc discussions,.e to search etymology notes and discussion,.g to search grammar related information and discussion,.i to search the introduction/grammar sections,.To specify specifically which fields you want to search, set the variable flags to a string containing one or more of the following characters: The anchor is also optional, but moves the page down to the results as if the button had been pressed. The \b modifier is optional, but this cuts down on false results where the search term occurs as part of some larger word. You just set a variable called search to the desired word or phrase.įor example, in moon+ reader, the custom dictionary puts the highlighted text inside %s, so that is set as the value of search: You can use this search page as a simple dictionary for e-readers and other apps that allow custom dictionaries. + = 1 or more of the preceding character: so brún + doesn’t match brú, but still matches brún and brúnn.* = 0 or more of the preceding character: so brún * matches brú, brún, and brúnn.? = 0 or 1 of the preceding character: so róu ?m matches both róum and róm.So, \baf \b only matches isolated af, whereas \Baf \b only matches final af, like altaf, and \Baf \B only matches internal af, like hafði, etc. \W = not a letter (i.e., not a word character): so m \Wn would only match situations like um nótt, etc.\w = any letter (i.e., a word character): so m \wn would avoid matching situations like um nótt, etc.n matches heiman, mun, etc., but also situations like em nú and um nótt because. exclude characters: mikil matches mikil and mikils but not mikill.alternate spellings: mik (il |la ) matches mikil and mikla (as well as forms like mikill and mikils see the section on word boundaries, below).alternate characters: ðli matches both eðli and øðli.This allows you to specify useful things like Search uses PHP (PCRE) style regular expressions. – automatically applying these spelling variations makes it easier to simply look up the word as it’s found in the text. For example, the dictionary doesn’t use ǫ, but some texts do some texts use œ, but most word forms in this dictionary use æ instead of œ vowel shifts due to u-umlaut and i-umlaut are common etc. While this may generate some false hits, it should capture the most common variations. Note that the options to modify the spelling of the search term are only applied when searching the headwords. Please report any errors so we can continue to improve the flexibility of the search results. Some of these inflection lists are auto-generated, so there may be errors leading to false hits or correct forms that are missing. However, these may not capture some of spelling variations that exist. Some words contain a list of inflected forms that will be searched by default. Multi-word text will only match exact phrases in the quotes (i.e., any variation in spelling or any abbreviation of the headword in the dictionary version of the quote may cause searching for the exact quote to fail). λεγ.)īe careful, unlike fancy search engines, this search engine is very literal. For example, searching for λεγ in the info tags will find words marked as hapax legomenon (ἅπ. Thus, in addition to accented vowels, ð, and þ, you can also use Greek characters to find quotes and etymology notes that contain Greek words. Hyphens are removed from words in the search index (e.g., search for afgamall not af-gamall).
