SEARCH DICTIONARY HEADWORDS
Search headwords for:	(e.g., flumen, Roma: use Latin geographical names)

Select a Search Option:	Exact match (eg, "roma" will find only "Roma")
	String searching (eg, "roma" will find "aroma," "monochromata," "Roma," etc.)

When doing string searching, results include all headwords containing the string you entered. Entering roma will return Roma but also Sauromatae, Promachus, etc.
Use the ^ sign to match the beginning of words: ^roma will only return words starting in roma-, not, e.g., Promachus
Use the $ sign to match the end of words: roma$ will only return words ending in -roma, not, e.g., limites romani.


SEARCH THE FULL TEXT
Search the full text for:	(e.g., architectural, or Pliny or lustr*)
	Similar Word Search
Select a Search Option:	Single Term and Phrase Search (default) Proximity Searching in the same Sentence or in the same Paragraph

By default, full-text results include only words exactly matching the string you entered. Entering roma will only return Roma.
The asterisk is a wildcard character (Roma* retrieves any words starting in Roma-: Roma, Romance, etc.).
'Similar word' search finds similar words if the word entered is longer than five characters. Your mileage may vary!

TIPS FOR USING THIS FORM

You will normally use the headword search and full-text search options separately; however, it is possible to search the text of large entries by entering the headword in the upper search box and another string in the lower search box. Try searching for Romulus in the Roma entry.
The search form does not allow for punctuation marks, but if you are looking, say, for citations of Pliny's Natural History in the dictionary, simply enter "Pliny Nat" without punctuation.
