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
MORE
above. Pressing
(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
the previous level.
This book contains cross-references (indicated by
’s), footnotes (), and
bibliographic references ().
Cross-references take you directly to related text and tables in the book. Footnotes and bibliographic references
