Understanding Word
Searches and Expansions
When you search for a word, either
by entering it at the Word Search
screen or by highlighting it in text,
titles and headings (in bold type) are
searched first for exact matches. If
no exact matches are found in titles
or headings, then the text is
searched for exact matches.
If no exact matches are found, then
the titles and headings are searched
for inexact matches, such as inflec-
tions and synonyms. If no inexact
matches are found in the titles and
headings, then the text is searched.
A word search stops as soon as
matches are found at a level de-
scribed above. Pressing
MORE
(red) expands the search to the next
level and finds additional matches, if
any.
The number of matches found at a
given search level may be less than
at the previous level.
