Finding Information in a Vocabulary Database
While editing a vocabulary database you can search for information in any of
the database fields. Follow the instructions below to use the Find command.
To find information in a vocabulary database:
- Access the Find command from the Edit menu. This option is only available when you are in the Edit a vocabulary database mode.
- Enter the information that you want to find in the Find What field.
- In the Search field, choose to search the word, clue, or set field.
- Select the search criteria.
Contains: PuzzleMaker will look in the field you selected and highlight all vocabulary words that
"contain" the search information you entered.
Begins with: Use this option when you want the program to compare the search text to the
"beginning" of the information in the word, clue, or set fields.
Exact match: This option is the most restrictive. It is best to use the "exact match"
option to search for a specific word or set.
- If you want PuzzleMaker to only find a word that matches the case as you entered it into the Find What field, disable the Ignore Case checkbox.
- Click the Find button to begin the search process.
If PuzzleMaker finds a word that matches the criteria, PuzzleMaker will highlight the word in the list.
- To find the next word that matches your search criteria, choose Find Again (CTRL+G) from the Edit menu.
