Advanced word searching
(interlinear-word-field)
An interlinear-word-field may consist of more than
one word, separated by a space or hyphen or middle dot, e.g. and·he-is-becoming.
In the sublinear one word in the original can be rendered
as a sentence. A space between words in a search query can also replace a hyphen
'-' or middle dot '·' e.g. Search query: and he
matches and-he and and·he
.
When entering only the word he
in a word-cell at the interlinear search query form, ISA will search all the word-cells
in the word list of the sublinear which have he
somewhere in it. When you do this query with the CHES sublinear, you get over 5000 different
words which ISA will find in the text. If you only want to find he
without other words surrounding it, then use special search symbols to narrow
the search query. In this case use \=he\= (with
back slash + equal sign) in the search query word-cell.
