Search Help

To search for a word in the dictionary, tap on your app's search icon (typically a magnifying glass), then type in a word. The most relevant results will be found in the Search Index, an alphabetical list of hyperlinks to all main entry words in the dictionary. It is placed at the start of the ebook so the search will find relevant results here first; later search results may be less useful, as they typically include every occurrence of the word in the ebook.

If your e-reading app does not have a search feature, we recommend browsing the dictionary instead. To do this, go to the Table of Contents and select Search Index A-Z. Select a letter, then select the link to the appropriate range of words. Scroll until you find the desired word, then tap on the hyperlink.
