Find Word search results list
If there is more than one result to a Find Word search, these are listed in the
results list.
How are the results laid out?
Each result is numbered and listed on a single line. On the left
is the matching term (e.g. bleachery). If the match is a subordinate entry,
the main entry under which it appears is given on the right (e.g.
bleacher). The matching terms are
listed in alphabetical order.
Above the list is a summary of what you are looking at (e.g.
Results 11-20 of 26).
How can I move to an entry?
You can either:
- Click on the underlined match to open the entry at the matching
term; or
- If the match is a subordinate entry, click on the name of the
main entry in which it appears to move to the top of the main
entry
How can I see more of the list?
-
By default the first ten results are shown. If there are more
results, the message
is displayed at the
bottom of the screen, with an input box containing by default the
number of the result following the last one displayed on the
current page.
-
To see the next ten results in the list, click the button or the
button.
-
To see the previous ten results in the list, click the

To see any other ten results in the list (e.g. 32 to 41), change
the beginning at number to the number you want by overtyping
(e.g. change 11 to 32) and then click the button.
-
You can return to the first ten results at any time by changing
the beginning at number to 1.
