For example search for 'female fox' and it will find the definition of 'vixen'. Use the 'full text' button to search for text appearing in any definition. The screenshot shows what you'd get if you did a punctuation sensitive search in the optional 'Compounds and Phrases' word list for phrases ending in 'word'. You can also search a wide range of optional extra word lists using the Find Word window. Using the 'Find Word' feature you can quickly find words matching a pattern. You can add your own technical glossaries (or list of company acronyms, etc) using the option on the 'Glossaries' menu. You can also get optional third-party dictionaries, including the Oxford, Chambers and Collins dictionaries, shown on separate tabs like the web references. Wikipedia and some online dictionaries are installed by default. The list of tabs can be customized to use your favorite references. Each reference is on a separate tabbed page for easy cross-referencing.

In addition to using the comprehensive English dictionary and thesaurus supplied, if you are online you can also search your choice of web references. For example if you look at the similar words, maybe you'd like to see words that are more loosely similar: you can do this by pressing the '+' button, and go back again by pressing the '-' button. Related words also have '+' and '-' buttons to be more or less specific. You can also use the back and forward buttons. To see the definition for one of the related words double-click on the word. Browsing around related words is simple: click on the tabs for synonyms, antonyms, parts, part of, types, type of, similar, see also, and anagrams. To look at a particular sense you can click on the sense number. If you are looking for a particular part of speech you can click on the Noun, Verb, Adjective or Adverb buttons to show only the relevant synonyms and related words.
