This is a visual cue to let you quickly see which language you’re searching in.</p> <h3>Options</h3> <p><img style="float: left;" src="http://dictionary.eastcree.org/img/number3.png" alt="" /></p> <p>This section allows you to refine your search parameters. You can either expand or narrow your search to generate the results you want.<br /> The first row, in conjunction with the language/form of writing you selected, will tell the dictionary which fields it must search in.</p> <div class="illustration" style="padding: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><img class="illustration" src="https://www.eastcree.org/img/cree_dictionary_entry.png" alt="" /> <ul> <li> <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">keyword</span>: if you selected <span class="bold italic">English</span> or <span class="bold italic">French</span>, selecting <span class="bold">keyword</span> will run a search on all the keywords and glosses in the database.<br /> If you selected <span class="bold italic">Syllabics</span> or <span class="bold italic">Roman</span>, the search by <span class="bold">keyword</span> will be performed on the headword of dictionary entries.</p> </li> <li><span class="bold">definition</span>: the dictionary will search all English and French definitions for the word(s) you typed in the search field.</li> <li><span class="bold">example</span>: the dictionary will search through the examples or example translations of the entries for the word(s) you typed in the search field.</li> <li><span class="bold">topic</span>: the dictionary will search through the topics or themes for the word(s) you typed in the search field.</li> </ul> <p>The second row holds options for where to search within <span class="italic">the word</span> itself. There are four options:</p> <ul> <li><span class="bold">beginning</span>: when this option is chosen, the search will return <span class="bold">X</span>YZ, where X is the beginning of the word, Y is the middle, and Z is the ending of a word.</li> <li><span class="bold">containing</span>: when this option is chosen, the search will return<br /> <span class="bold">X</span>YZ,<br /> X<span class="bold">Y</span>Z,<br /> XY<span class="bold">Z</span>,<br /> <span class="bold">XYZ</span></li> <li><span class="bold">ending</span>: when this option is chosen, the search will return XY<span class="bold">Z</span></li> <li><span class="bold">whole word</span>: when this option is chosen the search will return <span class="bold">XYZ</span>. The spelling must be exact to use this option, otherwise you will get no results.</li> </ul> </div> <h2>Examples of Cree based Search <a name="search-cree"></a></h2> <div style="padding: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"> <p>If you know the spelling of the Cree word you are looking for, you can perform your search by using either the syllabic or roman orthography of the word.<br /> To type using the syllabic orthography, you need a virtual syllabic keyboard like “Keyman” (see <a href="https://www.eastcree.org/cree/en/resources/how-to/cree-fonts/" target="help" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.eastcree.org/cree/en/resources/how-to/cree-fonts/</a>).<br /> If you don’t have a syllabic keyboard, you can use the built-in Flash-based keyboard to type in syllabics (you need Adobe Flash Player installed).<br /> You can active it by clicking on the keyboard icon <img src="http://dictionary.eastcree.org/img/keyboard-icon.png" alt="" /> in the typing field.</p> <h3>Searching for <span class="italic underline">nisk</span> in <span class="italic underline">northern</span> dialect</h3> <div style="background: transparent url('https://www.eastcree.org/img/cree_dictionary_roman_whole_nisk.png') no-repeat 0 -30px; min-height: 250px; min-width: 1600px; overflow: hidden; position: relative;"><img class="illustration" style="top: -30px; position: absolute;" src="https://www.eastcree.org/img/cree_dictionary_roman_whole_nisk.png" alt="" /></div> <h4>Will result in</h4> <div style="background: transparent url('https://www.eastcree.org/img/cree_dictionary_roman_whole_nisk.png') no-repeat 0 -300px; min-height: 350px; min-width: 1600px; overflow: hidden; position: relative;"><img class="illustration" style="top: -300px; position: absolute;" src="https://www.eastcree.org/img/cree_dictionary_roman_whole_nisk.png" alt="" /></div> <h2>Example of the Relaxed search<a name="search-relaxed"></a></h2> <p class="note">Our dictionary has a built-in <span class="bold">Cree</span> spellchecker which allows you to control the precision of the returned suggestions.<br /> The more precision you choose, the less results you get.</p> <p>For example, if you are looking for the word “<span class="bold">nisk</span>” but you type “<span class="bold">ni<span class="italic">i</span>sk</span>“,<br /> our spellchecker (the relaxed search engine) automatically gets activated. By default, it is set to be as precise as possible to return the fewest results to match your search query.<br /> PS: This option is only available if you choose to search in <span class="bold">Syllabic</span> or <span class="bold">Roman</span></p> <p><img class="illustration" src="https://www.eastcree.org/img/cree_dictionary_relaxed.png" alt="" /></p> <p>If you reduce the precision, you will get more results.
