How to search our set of Taiwanese dictionaries using "Taiwanese-English dictionaries full-text search" {{TE|}}: | |||
* You may select which dictionaries to search using the checkboxes. By default, all seven dictionaries are included, as well as "DFT_lk", which are examples for DFT entries. | |||
* Input search terms to define your search. Typical inputs include English terms, M-style syllables (original without tone sandhi), and the number of syllables. Feel free to try any other terms that would help narrow down your search. | |||
* In some cases, it is better to specify a column for a term, especially if it could match in multiple columns. To specify the column to search against, follow the column-name by a ":" character, then the term. | |||
** For example, if you want only monosyllable results, use <code>ns:1</code>. Likewise, if you know your result should be three syllables, use <code>ns:3</code> | |||
** Suppose your search term is "too", which is a valid English word but is also a valid MLT syllable. If you want to match only the English column, type <code>en:too</code>. If you want to match only M-style syllables, type <code>u:too</code> ("u" stands for "unjoined"). | |||
** See [[#Technical notes]] for more details. | |||
== How to use the MLT segmenter == | |||
We describe how to use "Taiwanese–English dictionaries: MLT segmenter & full-text search" {{x|}}. This interface is mainly for Taiwanese words written in MLT, which we refer to as "M-style" written Taiwanese. After entering M-input, press "Zhøe" to run the segmenter and search. Results from HTB and DFT are displayed, and results from other dictionaries are summarized and linked to. | We describe how to use "Taiwanese–English dictionaries: MLT segmenter & full-text search" {{x|}}.

* The "en" button is used to direct the search to the English field (en). Harnji (hj) can also be input, which can be useful with DFT. Otherwise, we do not attempt Chinese text segmentation, which is non-trivial (see {{w|Chinese word-segmented writing}}). | * The "en" button is used to direct the search to the English field (en).
