Understanding Word Searches
and Expansions
When you do a word search, either by
entering words at the word search
screen or by highlighting a word in the
text, first headings and subheadings (in
bold type) are searched for exact
matches. If no exact matches are found
in the headings and subheadings, then
the text is searched for exact matches.
If no exact matches are found, the
headings are searched for inexact
matches, such as inflections and synonyms. If no inexact matches are
found in the headings, then the text is
searched for them.
A word search stops as soon as
matches are found at a level described
above. Pressing
MORE
(red) continues
the search to the next level and finds
additional matches, if any.
The number of matches found at a
given search level may be less than at

AGE (YEARS)
The temporal relation between the biologic, psychologic, and psychosocial events of
adolescence. Age limits for the events and stages are approximations and may differ from those used
by other authors. The mean age of onset of pubic hair development for males (=13.4) is likely too
high due to bias in the data collection method. These limits and the points indicating the attainment
of individual stages of puberty were chosen for consistency and to reflect the earlier maturation of
American versus British adolescents. PH2, 3, 4, 5––pubic hair stage2, 3, etc; B2, 3, 4, 5–breast stage
2, 3, etc; PHV––peak height velocity; G2, 3, 4, 5––genital stage2, 3, etc.
