Example queries: hello, nihao, ni3hao3, 你好, rest*, zei*, *zei*, *茶, 英*公司, chinese *文, "to rest", bill -gates
Pinyin words should be entered without spaces, either with or without tone numbers: ni3hao3 or nihao.
The character ü can be entered as v instead.
The asterisk character * can be used as a wildcard to match zero or more characters:
rest* will match any word starting with
rest, such as
restaurant or
restrain
*文 will match any word ending with
文, such as
中文 or
英文
b*g will match any word starting with
b and ending with
g, such as
big or
boring
*中国* will match any word containing
中国, such as
传统中国医药 or
中国人民
Double quotes " " can be used to group search terms together:
"to rest" will only match entries where
to and
rest directly follow eachother
The minus symbol - can be used to find entries without a certain search term:
bill -gates will only match entries matching
bill but without
gates
To match only Chinese characters, Mandarin pinyin or German definition, use: c:chinese p:pinyin g:german:
p:you will only match entries with Mandarin pinyin
you
'-', 'c:', 'p:' and 'g:' only influence the search term immediately after these prefixes.
When used with groups, they influence the whole group they prefix.
