### Query Dialog

#### Words

Just type a word or a sequence of words. Please note that words containing characters other than plain letters and digits need to be enclosed in quotes, either single or double.

If you cannot enter special character via the keyboard, you can type their ISO entity names, eg. "M&oslash;n" to find instances of `Møn', but remember to put it in quotes.

Simple wildcards are also possible; the asterisk stands for any number of characters. Words beginning with `sol' (eg `solve' or `soluble'): "sol*". Words containing `ini' (eg `minister' or `Trinidad'): "*ini*". Words ending in `ing': "*ing". (But you might want to try <w type="vbg"> instead).

#### Tags

Tags are enclosed in angle brackets, any attributes that are specified have to be enclosed in quotes. For a list of available tags please consult the documentation of the corpus you are working with

#### Combinations

Alternatives can be specified using the vertical bar: test|tests|testing; restrictions can be expressed by the `and' operator: "ru*" & <w type="n*"> will retrieve all nouns that start with `ru'.

Words can also be scoped: house 4:4 fire finds `house' with the word `fire' within four words either side. bread within(s) butter finds `bread' in sentences that also contain `butter'.
