Dictionary name

Write here the relative path of your dictionary from the directory of the XDXF_query.cgi script.

E.g., if your dictionary is

/var/www/localhost/htdocs/myDict.xml

and your search program is

/var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/XDXF_query.cgi

then write

../htdocs/myDict.xml



Search string

Make sure you use Unicode encoding (UTF-8) if you need to enter any character that is not in the English alphabet.



Match

If exact match is selected, only those articles will be selected which contain the same phrase as the search string. Capital and lower case letters are considered different. Leading and trailing spaces are removed and consecutive multiple spaces inside the phrase are replaced by a single space (e.g., ' Homo  sapiens ' will match 'Homo sapiens').

If fuzzy match is selected, the search string will match even those phrases which are somewhat different.

If pattern match is selected, so-called regular expression search is performed, in which some characters have special meaning. For example:

special character

meaning

example

.

any character

.onkey matches both monkey and donkey

[]

any one of the enclosed characters

h[au]t matches hat and hut, but not haut

?

zero or one occurrence of the preceding character

bide? matches both bid and bide

+

one or more occurrence of the preceding character

goo+gle matches both google and goooooooooooogle but not gogle

*

zero or more occurrence of the preceding character

refere* matches both refer and referee

$

end of string

.*ight$ matches all words ending in ight

Further examples:

[bB]ob matches both bob and Bob.

[Oo][Kk] matches OK, Ok, oK, and ok.

a*b*c*d*e*f*g*h*i*j*k*l*m*n*o*p*q*r*s*t*u*v*w*x*y*z*$ matches all words having their letters in alphabetical order.

If anagram is selected, words that can be constructed by shuffling the letters of the search string are matched.
