Search with Variables
Sometimes it can be useful to search for a word without knowing all the letters. For example, to complete a crossword or find all the words containing a sequence of letters. Here are the four characters to use as variables.
Character | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
? | an unknown character | p?st? [posts, pasta, pasts, ...] |
* | a string of unknown characters | *dary [all words ending in dary]*loco* [all words containing loco] |
& | an unknown vowel | ari& [aria, Arie] |
# | an unknown consonant | ari# [arid, aril, Ariz, Aric] |
By launching a search with one or more variables, you also perform a search by criteria. You can therefore easily modify the search parameters by tapping the magnifying glass (1) then on the value to modify (2). Touch and hold a variable to see its description (3), or tap to insert it into the text field.
