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. | * Input search terms to define your search.

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"). | ||

The M-fields | Note: The M-fields of DFT and MK are largely machine-generated ("auto-joined") and do not attempt to indicate prescriptive spellings. In some cases, the common or recommended spelling may be different from what is shown. Often, the difference is about [[apostrophe]]s and/or [[hyphen]]s. | ||
