<STRONG>Start search:</STRONG>
<UL>
<LI>Type in search word, then press ENTER or press the "Search" button, or
<LI>Double click on a word in the result window with mouse button 1, or
<LI>Select a word in another X window, drop it by clicking with mouse button 2 over the result window.
</UL>

<STRONG>Give search words:</STRONG> 
<UL>
<LI>just one word, or
<LI>Find one of many words: <CODE>word1,word2</CODE>
<LI>Find all words: <CODE>word1+word2</CODE>
<LI>Find exact phrase: <CODE>word1 word2</CODE>
</UL>


<STRONG>Search options:</STRONG> 
<UL>
<LI>Search for full words or partial matches within words?
<LI>Ignore case or search case sensitive?
<LI>If agrep is used, try error correction if nothing is found?
<LI>Simple search (<STRONG>*</STRONG> is wildcard for any character) or search withregular expressions?
</UL>

        
<STRONG>History function:</STRONG> 
<UL>
<LI>Previous search results could be displayed again ("<STRONG><</STRONG>" and "<STRONG>></STRONG>" buttons)
</UL>

        
<STRONG>How it works:</STRONG> 
<UL>
<LI>"Ding: Dictionary Lookup" is not an intelligent translator system, 
but "only"a front-end to search quickly in files.
<LI>The search itself is done by a dedicated Unix command  ala "grep".
If you have installed "agrep" you are able to use the approximate matching feature to correct spelling errors.
<LI>Well, the results are as good as the dictionary wordlist.  
You could contribute to improve this list!Simply send an email to the author.
</UL>

<STRONG>Further information:</STRONG> 
<UL>
<LI>Unix manual pages for agrep and egrep
</UL>
