Quick Search#

The Quick Search is the simplest mode which allows you to enter your search term without specifying any form of annotation or without needing to know any specialized query syntax.

With this mode, you can search for single and consecutive words. In both cases, the searching algorithm will find all word forms with which your search term(s) is associated with (see table below). The quick search is case insensitive: uppercase letters are converted to lowercase (A→a) in the background.
