      <strong>Version 1.3</strong>
    </center>
    <strong>Start search:</strong> 

    <ul>
      <li>Type in search word, select a search method, 
      then press ENTER or press the "Search" button, or</li>

      <li>Double click on a word in the result window with left mouse button 1, or</li>

      <li>Select a word in another window, drop it by clicking with middle mouse 
      button 2 over the result window.</li>
      <li>Search in result:
       <ul>
        <li>Type a slash, then the search word: <code>/word</code> + ENTER, or</li>
        <li>Type in search word, then press Shift+ENTER or press the "Search" button with mouse middle button 2, or</li>
        <li>Press Shift and drop word by clicking with middle mouse
        button 2 over the result window</li>
       </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
    <strong>Give search words:</strong> 

    <ul>
      <li>just one word, or</li>
      <li>Find one of many words: <code>word1,word2</code></li>
      <li>Find all words: <code>word1+word2</code></li>
      <li>Find exact phrase: <code>word1 word2</code></li>
      <li>Umlauts: If you don't have umlaut keys on your keyboard, please use:</li>
              "a =   "A =   "o =   "O =   "u =   "U =   "s = 
      </li>
    </ul>
    <strong>Search options:</strong> 
    <ul>
      <li>Search for full words or partial matches within words?</li>
      <li>Ignore case or search case sensitive?</li>
      <li>If agrep is used, try error correction if nothing is found?</li>
      <li>Simple search (<strong>*</strong> is wildcard for any character) or search withregular
      expressions?</li>
    </ul>
    
    <dl><dt><strong>Another search behavior </strong> can be selected via the menu:</dt>
      <dd><strong>earch on mouse over:</strong> 
   <ul>
   <li>elect a word in another window (left mouse button)</li>
   <li>As soon as you move the mouse over the Ding window
       this word will be searched with the current search method</li>
   </ul>
   </dd>
      <dd><strong>Search on new text selection:</strong> 
   <ul>
   <li>As soon as you select a word in another window (left mouse button)
       this word will be searched with the current search method.</li>
   </ul>
      </dd>
    </dl>
    <strong>History function:</strong> 

    <ul>
      <li>Previous search results could be displayed again (<strong>&lt;</strong> and
      <strong>&gt;</strong> buttons)</li>
    </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>

      <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>

      <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.</li>
    </ul>
    <strong>Further information:</strong> 

    <ul>
      <li>Unix manual pages for agrep and egrep</li>
    </ul>
