The controls
- All words, Any of them, Exact phrase
- Every word you typed, at least one of them, or all of them together in the order typed. The Greek and the English each have their own.
- Any form of the word, Only as typed
- Any form of the word matches every inflected form of its headword; Only as typed matches the word only as written.
- Accents ignored, Accents matter
- Accents matter: λόγος and λογός become different queries, and a query typed without accents then matches only unaccented words.
- A Greek text
- An edition applies to Greek-only searches, in the plays that hold it.
- Wildcard
- Use
*for a wildcard:fron*matches φρόνησις, φρόνιμος, etc. - LSJ
- After a search for any form of a word, the headwords it matched.
- Together
- With both boxes filled: lines where both the Greek and the English match, or lines where either does.
- In
- Every play, one author's plays, or the plays you choose.
How to type Greek
The Greek box takes Greek letters or Beta Code, Greek typed in Latin letters. Turn on β Beta Code to see Greek as you type; Shift gives a capital. One key for each letter:
