How do I search?

The Search Term can be any string with three or more characters (one or more for Exact search). Searching is case-insensitive.

Choose one of the four search types (default = Name Completion):

Name Completion search: e.g., "animal" gives ANIMAL, ANIMAL-PART, etc.

Exact search: e.g., "animal" gives only ANIMAL. (Note: "anima" gives the first possible name completion, if any.)

Substring search: e.g., "animal" gives ANIMAL, ANIMAL-PART, as well as TRANSPORT-ANIMAL, INTERNAL-ANIMAL-PART, etc.

Heuristic search for related concepts: e.g., "animal" gives ANIMAL-TISSUE, BIOLOGY, BONE-JOINT, LEATHER, etc.

To perform the search, press the Search button and to clear the Search Term, press Clear.
