To locate words, just type them in as you would in a word processor. Letter cases will be ignored.
The wild-card character * (asterisk) may be used to match
just the prefix of a word or to ignore the middle of something.
If the item you wish to locate is more complicated than the simple * wild-card
can accomplish, try using the regular
expression matcher (https://www.thunderstone.com/texis/site/pages/regexp.html).
To locate a number of adjacent words in a specific order, surround them with
" (double quotation) characters. Putting a - (hyphen)
between words will also force order and one word proximity.
