Searching for Words

➤ Understanding Searches

When you search for words, the ency-

clopedia searches first for matches of

the words in the titles of articles. If no

matches are found in titles, it automati-

cally searches for matches in the

articles themselves. If no exact

matches are found in articles, the en-

cyclopedia then searches for

synonyms and related words.

Searches of more than one word find

matches regardless of the order or

proximity of the words. For example, if

you search for

space travel

, you will find

matches that have the words

travel

and

space

in the text of their articles.

➤

Expanding Your Searches

To find more matches, press

(the red key) up to three times after

entering your word search. When you

press

(red), your word search

expands to include matches in articles

or synonyms and related words, if

they weren’t already found.

➤

If You Misspell a Word

If you enter a misspelled search

word, a list of corrections appears

automatically. Highlight a correction

and press

ENTER

to search for it.

➤

Finding Incomplete Words

If you’re not sure which form of a word

to search for, type an asterisk in place of

letters in the word (e.g.,

psych✻

). (To

type an asterisk, hold

CAP

and press

✽

.) Then press

ENTER

Next, highlight a complete word and

press

ENTER

to search for it.
