We describe how to use "Taiwanese-English dictionaries full-text search". | |||
* Visit {{TE|}} to search our set of Taiwanese dictionaries at once. Optionally, you may select which dictionaries to search using the checkboxes. Normally 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. | |||
** 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> | |||
** For example, the term "too" is a valid English word but is also a valid MLT syllable. To specify the column to search against, follow the column-name by a ":" character, then the term. For example, if you want to match only the English column, type <code>en:too</code>. But if you want to match only M-style syllables, type <code>u:too</code>. | |||
** See [[#Technical notes]] for more details. | |||
